Spirit-Controlled Temperament

Who am I? What makes me do the things I do?

These are timeless questions. You've asked them, as have philosophers and theologians for thousands of years. In Spirit-Controlled Temperament, Tim LaHaye—author of Why You Act the Way You Do—provides answers patterned after ancient models of human behavior and grounded in the Word of God, making this a classic read for all Christians.

You're born with distinct strengths, but also weaknesses that can hold you back. This combination of strengths and weaknesses is your temperament. God wants to transform your natural weaknesses through the Holy Spirit to make you a dynamic, effective Christian who lives above anger, fear, depression, and selfishness.

Offering a fresh perspective on both personal and spiritual growth, this book features:


• Detailed breakdowns of the four temperaments—Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholic, and Phlegmatic


• An explanation for how the fruits of the Spirit uniquely connect to each temperament


• A 13-session study guide for small groups or church classes


In Spirit-Controlled Temperament, you'll find out who you are and how God wired you. But more importantly, you'll find out who you can become.
