description:  Warning: If modern church culture makes perfect sense to you and you always fit in seamlessly dont read this. As for the rest of usWhile American church culture (and American culture at large) seems largely designed for the extroverted its estimated that half of the American population is introverted and theyre often left wondering how even if they fit in the kingdom of God. As one of them popular radio host Brant Hansen brings news. Its wonderful refreshing and never-been-said-this-way-before good news.In his unique style Hansen looks to answer questions that millions of people carry with them each day:If I dont relate to God as emotionally as others do is something wrong with me?How does one approach God and approach faith when devoid of the good feelings that seem to drive so much of evangelical church culture?How does God interact with those who seem spiritually numb?Is the absence of faith-based emotion a sign of that God has moved on or was never there?What if we arent good at talking to people about our faith or good at talking to people at all?What if Im told Im too analytical that I think too much?Where does a person who suffers from depression fit in the kingdom? Is depression a sure sign of a lack of faith?This book is good news for people who are desperately looking for it. (And for their loved ones!)Its also for those who want to believe in Jesus but inwardly fear that they dont belong worry that dont have the requisite emotion-based relationship with God and are starving for good news.Blessed Are the Misfits is going to generate discussion and lots of it. Its simultaneously highly provocative and humbly personal. Its also leavened with a distinct dry self-effacing humor that is a hallmark of Hansens on-air writing and public speaking style.
