Conversation starters, incomplete thoughts, and links from Adam S. McHugh, author of Introverts in the Church

Endorsement from Lauren Winner

Introverts, take heart! As an introvert myself - an off-the chart "I" on the
Myers-Briggs - I find certain aspects of church life, like speaking to other
human beings every Sunday, really taxing. McHugh thoughtfully explores
the gifts introverts bring to the church, and he considers both how introverts
can live well in the church and how churches can be more hospitable to us.

-Lauren F. Winner, Duke Divinity School, author of Girl Meets God

Wow. This thought has been on my mind lately and so it should be interesting to read a book about it.

I'm an extreme "I" too and church is hard, but I do find I am best if I have a responsibility that gives me a reason to talk to people and a reason to go complete things behind the scenes when I don't want to be with people.

Looking forward to reading this book.
