Christian spiritual formation + Meyer's Briggs Type Indicator (personality typing) = brilliance!
Finally, a book that discusses the strengths/weaknesses of each MBTI, personality type, from a Christian perspective. The book begins with explanations of each letter, i.e., thinking vs. feeling, and how to distinguish between the types. Provides an excellent argument for the inborn nature of a person's personality. There are chapters for each MBTI, and I found the section on my type very useful. It brought enlightenment and understanding to my spiritual walk, as well as challenged me in the areas of weakness pertaining to my MBTI. Great book for Christian psychologists or psychology enthusiasts.

Helpful if you're into the whole Myers-Briggs personality thing.
