In Self to Lose, Self to Find, Marilyn Vancil unpacks our human dilemma, sets the scriptural foundation, explores the nine Enneagram personalities, and shows us practical ways to have a more meaningful life and healthier relationships. At its best, the Enneagram doesn't merely describe who we are, but shows us why we do what we do. It invites us to see the innate gifts and inclinations of our original design-the person we were before trials and traumas began to shape us. It also reveals the strategies and false narratives that keep us from becoming who we're truly meant to be.

Sitting here on the beach, I could see my now useless glider plane, various bits of driftwood and debris, and a girl with long black hair, about a hundred and fifty feet away. The girl was new. She hadn’t been there for the past three days, the way that everything else had. I was sitting under a tree looking out at the ocean. It was probably the Pacific Ocean. I didn’t know for sure. When she got closer, she called out, but not loudly. It sounded something like, “Aquilala soma towatsina.” Or something like that. I didn’t understand a word of it. It was a nice language, though. I ...

My name is Ronin. This is the third book of my life as an Adventurer Monk. So far, I’ve made a name for myself locally and established a house with wonderful mates. Today, the 311-year-old Elf-Woman, The White Falcon, appeared and says that she will join us. She was a surprise. 311 looks good on a strong-blooded Elf. This should be an adventure in itself. The Kobold Cave is empty…of Kobolds. I expect even more dangerous creatures are waiting for us deeper in. I intend to take my beautiful, highly sexual spouses, and explore it. At least four of us, and possibly five now, are Adventurers...

Jasper Rochester Illsworth was mad. Not angry, actually mad. Insane. And that’s not good for the ruler of a kingdom, no matter how small. Unfortunately, he was my problem now. I was The Envoy of Meringea. Illsworth was within our borders, and despite Jasper's belief that it was a separate kingdom, the people under his rule were Meringean. I would deal with it. I’d deliver the message I had for him and fix it. The message was simple: Jasper Rochester Illsworth would die. But right now, I had a more immediate problem. He’d just drowned a woman for sport, and I needed to revive and ...

There was something out there. I could hear it. There, beyond the beach, behind the tree-line. Off to my left, out of sight. I was still on the beach, just beyond the waterline. I crawled here a few minutes ago. I heard the rustling almost immediately; as soon as I had become conscious again. I didn’t know how long I had been there, apparently washed up by a higher tide sometime earlier. My clothes were still wet, so I must not have been here more than a few hours. I didn’t wake up coughing, so it didn’t seem that I had drowned. The life-jacket seemed to have kept me above water. I ...

But that rule shatters the moment a bloodied stranger crashes into her clinic in the middle of the night, demanding her hands, her silence, her trust. She doesn’t know his name, only that he radiates danger, power... and something darkly magnetic she can’t resist. Marcus Calabrese shouldn’t have gone to her. He’s the man men fear, the one who settles debts in blood and never owes anyone anything. But the moment her soft hands touch his ruined body, he’s marked. Claimed. The ...
