Library - In
Quiet Faith , Judson Edwards writes, “For all of
the fine qualities we introverts bring to the table, the truth
remains that we are typically viewed as people in need of a
personality upgrade. Those of us who are active in the church
find that to be especially true in the community of faith. We
are consistently, though subtly and indirectly, reminded that
we need to be bolder, louder, and more certain in our faith. If
we ever really got filled with the Spirit, the church seems to
suggest, we would become extroverts.” In eight finely
crafted chapters, Edwards looks at key issues like evangelism,
interpreting the Bible, dealing with doubt, and surviving the
church from the perspective of a confirmed, but sometimes
reluctant, introvert. In the process, he offers some
provocative insights that introverts will find helpful and
reassuring.
Quiet Faith offers a thoughtful, honest, and
entertaining look at what it means to be a Christian in the
twenty-first century.**
