Your Spiritual Personality presents Marita Littauer's philosophy concerning various personalities and how they can best serve God. This book opens with a dialogue about individual personality needs. At this point, the appendices are introduced as tools for deciding on your own personality type. Personality characteristics are explored including Littauer's suggestions for individual styles in viewing God, worship, and spiritual strength. Your Spiritual Personality concludes with a look at Jesus' personality and it's impact on each Christian.
Speaker, author, and Marita Littauer's mother, Florence Littauer, helped pioneer the concept of Christian personality types. Marita now enlarges on this subject. Your Spiritual Personality fits into the popular, easily read how-to genre of Christian literature. Centering first on the theory of Christian personality types and the needs of various people, Bible verses are added to tie the already-formed theory into a Scripture base. It may be fun, in group or individually, to play around with the tests and ideas. However, the discerning reader will want to keep in mind that the Christian is called to be Christ-centered, not person-centered, called not to new methods but to follow her Lord.
Littauer's conversational, friendly style encourages reading and ruminating. Personal reminiscences and tidbits from other Christians' lives highlight each subject. The appendices include a personality test, relevant dictionary, discussion of personalities, and charts. Your Spiritual Personality provides an effortless explanation of this thinking, and will help the clear-eyed (perhaps I should say Christ-eyed) reader to decide the pros and cons of this subject.
