About this Book
Author and pastor Louis Jones began to wonder why his attempts to be more outgoing were met with failure and frustration. It was at this time that he discovered in prayer that God did not make him to be that way. God made him to be quiet, contemplative, and oriented to time alone. This revelation resulted in the book Wallflowers in the Kingdom: A Vindication of Introverts in the Body of Christ. The book details his experiences as an introvert in his childhood and adult life, and draws upon those experiences to make the case that introverts are created that way by God and are important in the functioning of the Kingdom of God. The book embarks upon an examination of Scriptures that support the lifestyle of the introvert, and calls upon extroverts and introverts to better understand one another in order to foster harmony in the church.
Wallflowers in the Kingdom is yet another resounding voice in a Godly chorus designed to bring more light and vindication to the lifestyle of the introvert in the modern-day church. It is a guide for the faithful Christian who is often pressured by today’s churches to be outgoing and sociable, but is not yet ready to be the “life of the party.” For those who want to live the quiet life, and still be faithful to your Godly purpose, this book is for you.
For introverts who have been created to be quieter and less outgoing than their extroverted counterparts, the question is, how is God using them through the Holy Spirit? Introverts are often misunderstood, neglected, and maligned, but God can and is using them for mighty exploits within the kingdom.
