![]() ![]() Witty and filled with stories, this book allows you to peek inside each of the nine Enneagram types, keeping you turning the pages long after you have read the chapter about your own number. In The Road Back to You Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile forge a unique approach-a practical, comprehensive way of accessing Enneagram wisdom and exploring its connections with Christian spirituality for a deeper knowledge of ourselves, compassion for others, and love for God. Do you want help figuring out who you are and why you're stuck in the same ruts? The Enneagram is an ancient personality typing system with an uncanny accuracy in describing how human beings are wired, both positively and negatively. What you don't know about yourself can hurt you and your relationships-and even keep you in the shallows with God.

Bradbury tends to focalize his stories through the perspective of a single character, though the reliability of his narrators shifts from chapter to chapter. All the stories are told in the past tense. The Prologue, Epilogue, and one other story, “The Rocket Man,” are written in first-person voice, but the rest are written in third person. This acts as a framing device for the work.

No reference to the Priory of Sion as an organization (led during the course of its existence by many famous people, including Leonardo da Vinci, 1452-1519) protecting the Merovingians and their legitimate claims to the throne of France against the Carolingians and further usurpers is recorded in history before the fabrication of the 1967 documents. With co-author Henry Lincoln, as told elsewhere in this Web site, Baigent and Leigh combined the documents about the Priory of Sion fabricated in 1967 in France with the theory, advanced in the French esoteric occult milieu in the 1970s, that Jesus had a sexual relation with one of his female disciples and was perhaps married.
