An Introvert's Survival Guide

It’s been out a while, but I’ve just read Adam McHugh’s Introverts in the Church: Finding Our Place in an Extroverted Culture (Downers Grove, IL: IVP, 2009). McHugh shows that introverts need not feel out of place in the local church and provides a number of tips on how to thrive in an often-extroverted environment. Of particular interest to me were the chapter on introversion and community, and the two chapters on leading as an introvert. So if you’re someone who’d much rather discuss your faith one-on-one, or someone who prefers reflective silence to endless chorus-singing, do give McHugh’s book a read. It might prove to be a survival guide!
