Cast in God's Image: Discover Your Personality Type Using the Enneagram and Kabbalah

Who am I? What are the sacred tasks that are uniquely mine?
The most basic questions in life are also the most important. You can take a powerful step toward self-fulfillment if you first recognize the roots of your spiritual makeup. In Cast in God's Image, Rabbi Howard A. Addison helps you to do this through an understanding of your personality type and the types of the people around you.
Using two of the most important maps of consciousness known to us―the kabbalistic Tree of Life and the nine-pointed Enneagram― Addison decodes spiritual meaning and provides you with the tools to:
<ul>
<li>Determine your personality type by identifying your own patterns of behavior.</li>
<li>Strengthen your relationships with others by learning how to observe their response patterns and recognize how these patterns correspond with your own.</li>
<li>Discover how your personality type's virtues and vices, connect with the Divine, and ways you can use this knowledge to enrich your life in many ways.</li>
</ul>
Including more than twenty hands-on spiritual exercises and guided meditations, Cast in God's Image gives you an accessible and enjoyable way to learn about yourself and guidance on how to use this insight to reveal the sacred tasks that are uniquely yours to perform in this world.

An updated and expanded examination into the groundbreaking exploration and connection of two of the most powerful mystical traditions.
Patterns in our lives may escape us; reasons for our behavior often confuse us. To help us better understand the interplay of these dynamics, Rabbi Howard A. Addison combines two of the most powerful maps of consciousness known to humanity: the Tree of Life (the sefirot) from the Jewish mystical tradition of Kabbalah, and the nine-pointed Enneagram that was developed over several generations by mystics of several spiritual traditions.
Individually, each offers guidance and wisdom; together, they show the forces that propel us and shape our personalities and behavior. Most important, the two suggest how we can live more harmoniously with ourselves and with others, minimize friction and tension and discover our own spiritual gateway to God.
In this updated and expanded edition of his pioneering book, Rabbi Addison explores new understandings of the stages and pitfalls we experience along life's journey and the ways we can transcend the limits of our personalities in search of greater wholeness. He shows that, when brought together, the Enneagram and Kabbalah may enhance understanding of humanity's deepest motivations―both individually and collectively―thus opening wider the gate to personal growth.

Show Me Your Way: The Complete Guide to Exploring Interfaith Spiritual Direction

An ancient spiritual practice rediscovered―and re-imaginated―for today.
This fascinating introduction to an ancient spiritual practice is for all of us who are searching for fresh spiritual insight. People of all faiths―and even those with no particular religious involvement―are discovering spiritual direction.
Traditionally identified with Christianity, but also resembling the relationship between teacher and student in Buddhism, sheikh and disciple in Islam, and rebbe and Hasid in Judaism, spiritual direction is a distinct kind of relationship for enhancing spiritual growth. And its renewed popularity has led to a now uniquely accessible modern phenomenon: interfaith spiritual direction.
Howard Addison presents personal accounts from the lives of people representing a broad spectrum of religious and spiritual traditions to show how we can find guidance and inspiration from people of other faiths―without ever leaving our own. This one-of-a-kind guide explores:
<ul>
<li>Where to find spiritual guidance within your own faith community or beyond it. </li>
<li>How spiritual direction can help you, even if you come from no formal religious background. </li>
<li>Why and when it may be appropriate to seek a spiritual guide from a faith other than your own.</li>
<li>What interfaith spiritual direction means for the future of religion and spirituality in our world.</li>
