Celebrate Lit Blog Tour: The Perfectionist: Growing as an Enneagram 1 by Elisabeth Bennett

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.

I was introduced to the Enneagram a few years ago when our Church

Pastors and Staff started talking about it. Those who were studying

about it and finding out their Enneagram were very excited about

what they are finding out. I never quite grasped the concept and never

really looked further into it. I saw this come up for review and knowing

I am a Perfectionist, I was very intrigued to read and review this Devotional.

The Perfectionist: Growing as an Enneagram 1 by Elisabeth Bennett is a

60 Day Devotional that is divided into 6 sections and each section focuses

on 10 days of learning about that particular strength and weakness.

Each section also gives tips and help for the Perfectionist during

times of Stress. A Perfectionist is one who is Motivated but also has

fears. Elisabeth Bennett really outlines the information of the Enneagram

and how one can pinpoint which Enneagram fits them best.

I was totally LOST about the Enneagram Personality Type, even after

those around me talked about it continuously. Elisabeth Bennett really

helped me understand the Enneagram and I can without a doubt say

I am a 1, a Perfectionist. The Devotional is in an easy to ready format,

the explanations are easy to read and understand. The thing I really liked

was how it really shows the reader that God has designed us this way and

it our God-Given Personality. Elisabeth Bennett has other books in this series,

so if you are not a Perfectionist, she may have a book for you. I highly

recommend this book for anyone interested in the Enneagram and for those

seeking how to best use our Personality Type in the way God intended for

our Personality to come out. GREAT Devotional.

Elisabeth Bennett first discovered the Enneagram in the summer of 2017 and immediately realized how life-changing this tool could be. She set out to absorb all she could about this ancient personality typology, including a twelve-week Enneagram certification course taught by Beth McCord, who has studied the Enneagram for more than twenty-five years.
Elisabeth started her own Enneagram Instagram account (@Enneagram.Life) in 2018, which has grown to nearly 65,000 followers. Since becoming a certified Enneagram coach, she has conducted more than one hundred one-on-one coaching sessions, focused on helping her clients find their type and apply the Enneagram to their lives for personal and spiritual growth. Elisabeth has also conducted staff/team building sessions for businesses and high school students.
She has lived in beautiful Washington State her entire life and now has the joy of raising her own children there with her husband, Peter.
