Augsburg Books, Jan 1, 2006 - Religion - 254 pages
Millions of people throughout the world turn to the Myers- Briggs Type Indicator to guide their career choices, improve their relationships, and resolve conflicts. Now, two experts in the field help readers discover: The approach to spirituality that is most natural for them. Past spiritual experiences and what made them joyful, hollow, or even painful. New spiritual paths that add fullness to life even in the midst of difficulties. First published in 1998 by Hyperion, SoulTypes is a valuable tool for individual growth and strategic planning for those in leadership roles in congregations and other faith-based organizations.
