Introverted Church: How I turned my blog into a book

How I turned my blog into a book

I started Introverted Church three years ago this month. It's been a fun challenge to come up with something to say about introverts and faith week after week, and I've been helped out a lot by many of you who have been reading since the beginning. Some of your comments and input actually made it into my book.

In their March issue, Presbyterians Today Magazine profiles this blog and how it became a platform for Introverts in the Church. I did an interview with the author, and she asked me what suggestions I would give to new bloggers and also for those bloggers who are hoping to get a book deal.

Thanks to all of you for your loyalty, your insight, your comments, and for helping make Introverted Church and Introverts in the Church the success they have become!

I have so much respect for what you are doing in writing this book. I myself am a Christian, as well as an introvert and have felt alone my entire existence. As I age, it only seems to get worse. I am very excited to pick up a copy of your book so that I may come to understand that I have as much to offer to the church as any one else does. I have felt basically ashamed of what I am, because my entire family is comprised of extroverts, and they just don't seem to "get" me or accept me for what I am. I just thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me (and fellow Christians) know that I am not alone and that I am very capable of being a strong, confident woman of Christ! God bless you!!!

Hi Adam. I don't know where else to post this, so I'll do it here. I just wanted to say a profound thank you for your book. I have been reading it over the last several days and on numerous occasions it has seemed like you are simply describing my experience to me! Your book has been a gift. Thank you.
