Book: The Perfectionist

Author: Elisabeth Bennett

Genre: RELIGION / Christian Living/Personal Growth

Release date: March 2, 2021

The Enneagram is an ancient personality typology using nine points within a circle to represent nine distinct personality types. This sixty-day devotional is for the Perfectionist, number 1 of the Enneagram personality types.
This book will help Perfectionists, and those who love them, better understand how God created them and how best to use their unique gifts to serve Him and love others. It features a full explanation of what the Enneagram is and how it benefits people, followed by a full description of what it means to be a 1, including the Perfectionist’s deadly sin and their greatest strength.
Some attributes of the Perfectionist:

Motivation: To be good, have integrity, and achieve this by following the rules.
Biggest Fear: Ones fear being evil or corrupt, unable to do good things or make a difference.
Gut Triad: Ones, along with Eights and Nines, receive information through their gut, instinctively feeling if something is right or wrong. When Ones see others blatantly disobeying the “rules” that are very obvious to them, it triggers an anger response, and can cause Ones to be burdened by boiling frustration.

The sixty days of this devotional are split into six 10-day topics that include uniqueness, weakness, strength, pain points, and how Perfectionists react in times of stress and growth.

My Thoughts

The Perfectionist By: Elisabeth Bennett is part of a devotional series. I have read one other one in the series. You can see my review for The Peacemaker: HERE. If you are not familiar with the Enneagram it is an ancient personality classification. There are nine points within a circle to represent nine very distinct personality types- 1: Perfectionist, 2: Helper, 3: Achiever, 4: Individualist, 5: Thinker, 6: Guardian, 7: Enthusiast, 8: Challenger and 9: Peacemaker.

In this book the Perfectionist - it is broken down into 6 parts. Each part will take you 10 days to go through. I am not sure what number that I am - but I do not think I am a 1. Even if you are like me, and not a 1 - there is still a wealth of information. The author has done incredible research and studies on the Enneagram. She knows her subject material, and I feel that her writing was God led.

I received a copy of this book through the Celebrate Lit Blogging program - all thoughts are my own.
