Integrated Spirituality Beth Davis Dmin

By integrating the spiritual disciplines with the latest personality assessment tools, this book shows how to use the Five-Factor Model to assess spiritual growth trends that affect the fruit of the Spirit, motivational gifts of the Spirit, ministry aptitudes, vocational aptitudes, and styles of behavior. In the past, few tools existed that validly measured the degree to which individuals exhibit the "fruit of the Spirit." A new version of the Five-Factor Model, however, enables Christians to assess their love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and self control. Additionally, they can measure personality characteristics that lead to the "sins of the flesh." Using the Five-Factor Model, this book can help readers assess significant trends in their spiritual growth as a function of personality change and as a function of the degree to which they are like, or not like, Jesus in their thoughts, values, and attitudes.
