An interesting book review came my way through the Christianity Today Direct Newsletter. The review, written by Christine Scheller, is titled "Introverts for Jesus, Unite!" It takes a look at a book titled Introverts in the Church: Finding Our Place in an Extroverted Culture, by Adam McHugh.
While I haven't read the book, Scheller's review strikes me as exceptionally even-handed, noting both the weaknesses and the strengths of McHugh's examination of introversion in our culture, and particularly in our (evangelical) churches.
Scheller ends her review with this quote from McHugh: "When the church is led by introverts and extroverts who partner together, each contributing their strengths and offsetting the others' weaknesses, it is a testimony that the Holy Spirit is orchestrating the community."
That's a nice vision.
