James Empereur develops the nine enneagram points in such a way that he provides guidelines for the director and student, offers insight for those (especially Christians) who are pursuing the spiritual path, and presents a way of doing interdisciplinary studies in personality development, psychology of adults, and the discipline of spiritual practice.
