SynopsisWarning: If modern church culture makes perfect sense to you, and you always fit in seamlessly, don't read this. As for the rest of us... While American church culture (and American culture at large) seems largely designed for the extroverted, it's estimated that half of the American population is introverted, and they're often left wondering how, even if, they fit in the kingdom of God. As one of them, popular radio host Brant Hansen brings news. It's 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 don't 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 aren't good at talking to people about our faith, or good at talking to people at all? What if I'm told I'm 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!) It's also for those who want to believe in Jesus, but inwardly fear that they don't belong, worry that don't 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. It's simultaneously highly provocative and humbly personal. It's also leavened with a distinct, dry, self-effacing humor that is a hallmark of Hansen's on-air, writing, and public speaking style., If you've ever felt like you don't fit into American church culture... Brant Hansen has been there, too. Join Hansen as he explores modern Christianity, the beauty of being different, and the astonishing goodness of God. American church culture can feel designed for extroverted, emotional people -- so what does that mean for the rest of us Brant Hansen gets it. Introverted, a natural skeptic, and an "Aspie," he often wondered how, even if, he fit into the Kingdom of God. But the good news is that the Good News is for all. Maybe "spiritual" doesn't always look like we expect. And maybe those of us whose lives aren't full of amazing or emotional spiritual stories, or those of us who struggle to be social, confident, or happy -- "misfits," really -- have a beautiful place in God's kingdom too. In his trademark dry, self-effacing humor, Brant addresses questions like: If I don't relate to God as emotionally or feel His presence as intensely, is there something wrong with me What if I'm not good at talking to people about my faith -- or not good at talking to people at all What if I'm terrible at praying and even struggle to want to pray If I struggle with depression, does that mean I've failed spiritually For anyone who has felt left out, anyone who has gone through the motions, or anyone who feels like they have more questions than answers, Blessed Are the Misfits is a breath of fresh air. Praise for Blessed are the Misfits: "This book is for those who feel disconnected, lonely, or spiritually dry. Brant's writing is honest, quirky, funny, and downright therapeutic. I can think of no one I'd rather have sit down with me and say, "You know what It's okay to be you.'" --Benjamin C.

As a fellow misfit, popular author and radio host Brant Hansen brings refreshing news and looks to answer questions that millions of people carry with them each day: If I don't feel God's presence, is something wrong with me? What if I'm not good at talking to people about my faith-or not good at talking to people at all? Am I a failure? What if I'm terrible at praying and even struggle to want to pray? What if I say I'm a believer but actually feel like a spiritual imposter? If I struggle with depression, does that mean I've failed spiritually? Blessed Are the Misfits is both highly provocative and humbly personal. Leavened with the dry, self-effacing humor that is a hallmark of Hansen's style, it will help you embrace the freedom to be yourself even as you discover just how astonishingly good God really is.

A different way to see God
Brant opens you eyes to how really loving God is and He didn't make us to all be just alike. Look at the men Jesus chose to be disciples-non were church leaders. The misfit disciples found out what the kingdom of God was really like and it wasn't what they had been taught or what they expected. It was better. It included them! Brant shares that we are all included if we so choose.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

A different, fresh, perspective
Great book for people that are struggling with their Christian believe, and feel like they just don't get it like some of the other people at church. People that just don't 'feel' it!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

For the rest of us.
This book is for those who struggle with spiritual matters and church. You do not have to be on the autism spectrum or have Asperger's to get something out of it. This copy was for a good friend.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
