Rohr’s book has long been the standard reference for those interested in the ancient personality type system, and rightfully so, it is an excellent tool. I’m from the Midwest, so Disney’s Fantasia is pushing it, and don’t get me started on Harry Potter. For evangelicals just starting to peak out from underneath the covers after the 1980’s Satanic Panic, the red circle with one too many intersecting lines was a bridge too far. Let’s be honest, the moment you have to explain, “No, that’s not a pentagram,” you’ve lost.
Why relief? The cover of Richard Rohr’s 1990 book, Discovering the Enneagram, the first popular book on the subject, looked like a prop from the CW’s Supernatural TV series. The dust jacket design was restrained and inoffensive. I felt a wave of relief when I pulled my copy of Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile’s new book, The Road Back to You from the box.
