Are you trying to be your best but just can't seem to get past your own shortfalls? Fear not. Your unique and beautiful temperament may hold the key to becoming the saint God made you to be. And just as he did with the saints before us, God will build upon your temperament to bring you to perfection.
Whether you already know your temperament — some combination of deep Melancholy, peaceful Phlegmatic, take-charge Choleric, or playful Sanguine — or you have never been introduced to the four classic temperaments, My Type of Holiness provides meaningful, practical insight and guidance, interspersed with inspiring profiles of saints. This book helps give you a fuller understanding of the way God made you and how he wants to perfect you.
Properly understood, the love and study of temperaments should be a doorway to holiness. As well as giving you self-knowledge, this book can lead you more deeply into relationship with God.

Understanding a child's unique temperament is key to effective discipline and a strategy for nurturing a child's strengths.
Rejoice Always draws wisdom and inspiration from Sacred Scripture and six saintly companions to help us cultivate a burning desire to joyfully love the Lord. Whether we're facing suffering and loss or the humdrum reality of life, the saints highlighted here — and author Sheri Wohlfert's own down-to-earth stories — give us a relatable, achievable, and authentic path to holiness. Each section of this book focuses on a gift from the Father, and one of the saints demonstrates how to joyfully embrace each gift.
Whether you’re a new mom, a grandmother, or somewhere in between, this book will encourage all mothers in their vocation as they identify themselves in the lives of these saints, who also experienced the joys and challenges of being a mom. Their stories will also be inspiring to young women exploring the vocation of motherhood and anyone with an interest in saints who were mothers.
The saints whose writings on prayer and meditation are explored in this book are among the most celebrated in the great spiritual tradition. The aim of this book is to discover what help the great saints can offer those of us who desire to make progress in the life of prayer but who find ourselves being constantly deflected from our purpose, our tentative efforts undermined perhaps most of all by human weakness.
