About the Book The Perfectionist

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 on The Perfectionist

I don’t know a ton about the enneagram but I do know some about the number I am.  Enough to know it is super spot on to who I actually am and explains quite a bit about me!  I’m a 5w6 so this book doesn’t really apply to me. 

This is the second book in this series that I have had the pleasure to review.  As I’ve been reading through this book it really has helped me to identify and learn more about some of my friends who are type 1s.  

I also feel the need to state yet again that this author has the best name ever.  Talk about a literary name.  Isn’t it the best!?

If you’re not familiar with the enneagram or what type you might be there are lots of free tests out there that can help you decide which is you.  And this series has been eye-opening to me on why and what makes the different types tick plus their greatest fears, etc.  This is a 60 day devotional. 

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received through Celebrate Lit. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.
