By Clarence Thomson

Our reactions to events are often metaphorical, conforming to pre-set "scripts" that help us to filter reality and maintain our daily world.  Thomson book shows that these scripts are necessary for us, inducing a kind of waking trance state that enables us to see ourselves and reality in a particular way.  Through the use of therapeutic metaphors, or parables, this book is designed to help you expand the limits of your personal scripts into other realms.

"An artful, fascinating book...Parables and the Enneagram does a great service by unraveling the teachings of Jesus in ways that will appeal to Christians and non-Christians alike.  It also broadens the Enneagram by deftly and intelligently applying the system.  Clarence Thomson presents parable not only for its spiritual power, but as a litereray and therapeutic form.  For this and many other reasons, Parables will find a wide audience in seekers and clinicians of all stripes." -- Thomas Condon from the Foreword

"Witty and well informed, this is a book of rich and surprizing insights.  It will challenge your understanding of the Enneagram, of yourself, and of the prables.  It has set a new standard for a Christian interpretation of this system."  -- Don Riso, with Russ Hudson, authors of Personality Types and The Wisdom of the Enneagram

"A masterly exploration of how the Scriptures and the Enneagram enrich each other." 
-- Richard Rohr
