This book was
featured in the Sarum College Bookshop Facebook page – so such is
the power of social media...
The C of E loves
Myers-Briggs, and therefore here we are using “Introvert” in its
technical Myers-Briggs definition. In these terms I am an Introvert
and it was that hook in the title that drew me in.
The message of the
book is that people are different, and that God given difference
enriches the life of the Church.
This is a simple
message, one you might perhaps assume was self-evident, one you would
assume you didn't need to write books about.
Unfortunately I
think books like this are needed.
That said Tanner not
only makes his point, he does rather labour it... I think this could
have been a Grove booklet rather than a 200 page book with no real
lose of impact or even content, I did catch myself adopting the 1 in
4 approach to reading the book (1 in 4 pages, 1 in 4 words...).
I think I got the
message even before I start to read, so maybe their will be others
for whom the experience of reading the book will be a “journey”
and therefore the long form approach to the message will give them
the space to think and get “on board”.
