  1. thanks Adam. i found your site while i was writing my post and am so looking forward to reading your book. i really hadn't considered how much introversion must affect the way we experience church life, but of course it does! ah...perhaps this is the hidden reason behind my discomfort in church services?

    thanks for exploring this topic. i look forward to reading more.

    in Christ,

  2. Wow! That article was amazing!

    I enjoy reading the comments section of many blogs, and I was delighted by one extravert's comment. Someone actually got it and finally undertsood Psalm 46:10 - "Be still and know that I am God." I've been quoting that verse to myself and others for the past six months!

  3. Adam,

    Returning to Tonia's site, I read your comment after one I had left there.

    I look forward, over time, to sitting with your words here and to reading your book. Until now I was not aware of Christ-followers who were writing on the subject of introversion.
