My Type of Holiness: Striving for Sainthood with the Temperament God Gave Me

Do you long to grow in holiness but feel held back by your own habits, quirks, or flaws?

The good news is: God made you on purpose—temperament and all—and He wants to use your exact personality to lead you to sainthood.

In My Type of Holiness, discover how your natural temperament—Melancholy, Phlegmatic, Choleric, or Sanguine—is not an obstacle but a starting point for grace.

Whether you're deep-feeling and introspective, calm and steady, bold and driven, or joyful and energetic, this book offers you personalized spiritual insight for the journey ahead.

With clarity and compassion, the book unpacks the strengths and weaknesses of each temperament and pairs them with real-life saints who embodied and transformed those traits through God’s grace.

Each chapter includes practical guidance to grow in virtue, overcome struggles, and deepen your relationship with Christ.

My Type of Holiness is not about changing who you are—it’s about becoming who God made you to be. Let this eye-opening and encouraging guide help you embrace your temperament as a sacred gift and a pathway to sanctity.

Piety and Personality: The Temperaments of the Saints

Your Personality, Your Path to Holiness:

Struggling with traits that feel more flawed than saintly? God designed every temperament to reflect His glory—even the impulsive, assertive, or unpredictable ones. Jesus is the perfection of all temperaments, and through Him, we encounter saints who shared our struggles.

Some saints discussed in the book include:

• Paul: Choleric
• Teresa of Ávila: Sanguine-Choleric

• Thomas Aquinas: Phlegmatic-Melancholic

   

• Mary Magdalene: Sanguine-Melancholic
• Simon: Sanguine

Through these and other saints, Rosemary McGuire Berry explores how saints used their temperaments to grow in holiness. With vivid biographies, reflections, and practical tips, discover which saint mirrors your personality and how to embrace your strengths and overcome weaknesses on your path to Christ.
