The Temperament God Gave You

Unlock the secret of your personality and learn how to be a better
spouse, parent, friend, & Christian! All of us are born with
distinct personality traits. Some of us live for crowds and parties;
others seek solitude and time for quiet reflection. Some of us are
naturally pushy, while others are content just to get along. We don.t
pick and choose these traits; they.re just part of the way we.re made.
For in the womb God doesn.t merely mold our body; He also gives us the
temperament that, all our days, colors our understanding, guides our
choices, and serves as the foundation of our moral and spiritual life.
Ancient philosophers identified four basic temperaments, and over the
centuries, countless wise souls have used these four to understand human
nature. Now comes The Temperament God Gave You, the first Catholic book
on the subject in 70 years. Here veteran Catholic counselor Art Bennett
and his wife Laraine provide an accessible synthesis of classical
wisdom, modern counseling science, and Catholic spirituality: a rich
understanding of the temperaments and what they mean for you and for
your family. Drawing on decades of study, prayer, and practical
experience, Art and Laraine show you how to identify your own
temperament and use it to become what God is calling you to be: a loving
spouse, an effective parent, and a good friend. Best of all, they give
you a Catholic understanding of the four temperaments that will bring
you closer to God and help you discover the path to holiness that.s
right for you. Peace. Happiness. Holiness. You.ll find yourself
growing in each of these qualities as you come to understand . and learn
to use as you should . the temperament God gave you.
