About this listen
Sacred Pathways reveals nine distinct spiritual temperaments - and their strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies - to help you improve your spiritual life and deepen your personal walk with God.
It's time to strip away the frustration of a one-size-fits-all spirituality and discover a path of worship that frees you to be you. Experienced spiritual directors, pastors, and church leaders recognize that all of us engage with God differently, and it's about time we do too.
In this updated and expanded edition of Sacred Pathways, Gary Thomas details nine spiritual temperaments and - like the Enneagram and other tools do with personality - encourages you to investigate the ways you most naturally express yourself in your relationship with God. He encourages you to dig into the traits, strengths, and pitfalls in your devotional approach so you can eliminate the barriers that keep you locked into rigid methods of worship and praise.
Plus, as you begin to identify and understand your own temperament, you'll soon learn about the temperaments that aren't necessarily "you" but that may help you understand the spiritual tendencies of friends, family, and others around you.
Whatever temperament or blend of temperaments best describes you, rest assured it's not by accident. It's by the design of a Creator who knew what he was doing when he made you according to his own unique intentions. If your spiritual walk is not what you'd like it to be, you can change that, starting here. Sacred Pathways will show you the route you were made to travel, marked by growth and filled with the riches of a close walk with God.
A Sacred Pathways video Bible study is also available for group or individual use, sold separately.
Accompanying exercises and discussion questions are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

We are constantly being formed by the world around us. To be formed by Jesus will require us to become his apprentice. To live by what the first Christian disciples called a Rule of Life—a set of practices and relational rhythms that slow us down and open up space in our daily lives for God to do what only God can do—transforms the deepest parts of us to become like him.

Authors Should Not Read Their Own Books. Ever.
Still working my way through this book for my Master's degree. I learn best by listening to the audio, while reading the print book. I reiterate my statement in the subject line. Authors should not read their own books. Ever. Gary Thomas doesn't have a "book-reading voice". I'm sorry, because I'm certain that sounds harsh. The book is terrific, but reading aloud is a different kettle of fish. An audio book reader should have a voice that is soothing enough so that the listener's focus is on the book's content - not the unsoothing voice of the reader. I will now have to buy the Kindle version (already bought the print book, so now, more expense), so that I can have my Kindle robot read it to me. At least his voice is not the focus for the listener.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
