In his book Introverts in the Church: Finding Our Place in an Extroverted Culture, Presbyterian minister Adam S. McHugh takes on the perception that Christian evangelism is partial toward extroversion and frowns upon introverts. Culling from biblical allusions, academic research and personal interviews, he explains in eight chapters how introverts are not destined for leadership failure simply because they do not match the charisma of Christianity’s flashier preachers. Any introverted Christian who ever has felt misunderstood because of his or her personality type likely will find this book a revelatory, mission-affirming reading experience.
