The dark sides of your personality are areas where you are weak and tendencies that cause you to stumble, but it is also where God’s light best pierces through and shines. It can actually be the best place to experience God’s power because His power is made perfect in weakness!

About the Author

Mary McSwain

Mary graduated from Samford University in the spring of 2024 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. Through her studies and experience with the PLACE tool, her prayer is that she can use the opportunities the Lord has given her in learning about how He has designed us to help others discover their design in order to find the purpose and fulfillment the Lord intended for their life.

In gathering her knowledge and experience from the PLACE tool, her studies in psychology, and, most importantly, the truths she’s found in scripture, Mary shares her perspective on these dark sides of our personalities and how to overcome them.

Whether it be her analytical personality, current major in psychology, or front row seat to PLACE Ministries since she was born, Mary McSwain has seemed to find her place in ministry through the PLACE process. Her dad, Jay McSwain, the founder and president of PLACE Ministries, has given her a platform to find her purpose through PLACE.

About the Author

Jay McSwain

In the late 1990’s Jay developed the PLACE process that helps people discover how God created them in areas like personality so that they can know how to give their lives away for Christ. Jay recognized many years ago through hundreds of thousands of individuals going through the personality assessment he created that there are strengths and yes weaknesses (or as some would refer a dark side) of every personality type.

If you are looking for a book that helps shine light on the weaknesses (dark side) of your personality, BUT uses the Light of God’s Spirit to point to overcoming those weaknesses then The Dark Side of Personalities and How To Overcome Them is for you.
