Find out what makes you tick. Who are you and why do you do the things you do? We are all born with a particular type of temperament with distinct strengths and weaknesses. In Spirit-Controlled Temperament, Dr. Tim LaHaye shows us how God can transform your natural weaknesses and make you a dynamic and effective Christian. Whether you are a Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholy, or Phlegmatic, you can learn how to live above anger, fear, depression, and selfishness.
A superb treatment of the basic human temperaments and how God can use them, now revised with new chapters and questions for group study.

EXCELLENT Book, I love this book and changed my life. MUST HAVE book not only to improve your strengths and OVERCOME your weaknesses (anger, fear, etc.), but improve relationships with others. Especially A MUST for those whose life verse is Gal. 5:22-23, Fruit of the Spirit. Basic message of book: God gave Christians the Holy Spirit to improve natural strengths and overcome our weaknesses as we cooperate with him (…to effect lasting change in our life). Next to the Bible, this is my second most favorite book and I have LOTS of books. Oh, ever notice how (sometimes) wse can be more of a Christian outside the home, than at home. Well, this brings it to where you should be a Christian first, AT HOME. The rest all falls into place.

This book is biblically grounded. It is not psycological junk. It is a tool not a means. It does not suggest its information replace the Holy Spirit in your life or how to deal with your weaknesses. It helps you understand yourself and others and thus live more fully by God's power and pray for others.

This is a very interesting book that helps you understand your own personality. It identifies what your potential strengths and weaknesses are and shows you how the Holy Spirit can transform your individual temperment into one that God can use for His glory.

This book changed my life as I allowed the knowledge of how God designed and made me to control my life. This book describes various personalities and temperments. It allows you the opportunity to clearly evauate your own strengths and weekness's so that you are able to understand how you function and why you do things different from lets say your brother, mom, or even husband. I was able to recognize my own personality traights and figure out the best way to grow spiritually and emotionally. I was also able to understand my husband in a new light and am much more able to allow him the freedom to be different than myself and love him all the more for it.
The information in this book is so valuable. I recommend it to any and all personalities.
