Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are the Christian Enneagram and Christian Yoga truly Christian? Modern American Christians are turning to spiritual practices such as Christian Yoga and the Christian Enneagram in droves. These practices claim to help Christians better connect with God and themselves. But are they biblical? More importantly, can these practices be redeemed for Christian use? Or, are they representative of New Age theology and practices that have seeped into our churches? In his timely book, Dr. Berg examines the origins of New Age incursions into the American church and provides a thorough comparison of Christian theology vs. New Age beliefs. In the second half of his book, Dr. Berg examines two of the most popular spiritual practices now making their way through the Body of Christ: the Enneagram and Yoga. He provides a full theological breakdown of the Christianized versions of both and asks the question of whether or not these practices are a blend of Christian and New Age principles. The results are nothing short of shocking and every Christian in America should be aware of the dangers these practices and others like them pose to the church.

Download or read book The Conscious Enneagram written by Abi Robins and published by Broadleaf Books . This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Enneagram is a powerful tool, with ancient roots and modern appeal, for detailing the human personality. It illuminates the painful truth of where we are and inspires us with the promise of where we could be. As the Enneagram has grown in popularity over the past 30 years, the insights offered have focused either on the present or the future, with little guidance on how to move from Point A to Point B. In the The Conscious Enneagram Abi Robins offers a rich, insightful guide for those seeking to move from patterns to promise. Through practical, easy-to-understand coaching, storytelling, and personal inquiry, Robins explores three main ways for getting from where we are to where we could be: Practice, Lineage, and Community. These make up the three-legged stool of the inner and outer work required to radically change the way we think, feel, and move through the world. This book will show you how to cultivate each of these legs in your life in meaningful, enriching ways that are tailored to your type.
