Blessed are the misfits: great news for believers who are introverts, spiritual strugglers, or just feel like they're missing something

Description

American church culture seems largely designed for the extroverted, but it's estimated that half of the American population is introverted. They're often left wondering how-- or if-- they fit in the kingdom of God. Hansen looks to answer questions, such as "If I don't relate to God as emotionally as others do, is something wrong with me?" And, "Is depression a sign of a lack of faith?" Highly provocative and personal, Hansen's book is leavened with a distinct, dry, self-effacing humor.;It's not just you -- Together, yet apart -- Blessed are my fellow people on the Autism Spectrum (and those who can relate to us) -- Blessed are those of us who apparently landed on the wrong planet -- Blessed are the unfeeling faithful -- Blessed are the unfeeling faithful, part 2: Real "fruit" -- Blessed are the introverted Evangelical failures -- Blessed are the people who can't pray worth a darn -- Blessed are the people who just read that last chapter but still have some questions -- Blessed are the wounded -- Blessed are those who don't have amazing spiritual stories -- Blessed are the imposters -- Blessed are the introverts who keep trying -- Blessed are the perpetual strugglers -- Blessed are the people who do church anyway -- Blessed are the melancholy and the depressed -- Blessed are those who don't take themselves so seriously -- Blessed are the skeptics and those who don't know where else to go -- Blessed are the unnoticed -- Blessed are the lonely -- Blessed are the misfit royalty -- A special appendix: A misfit roll call.
