Blessed Are the Misfits

Great News for Believers Who Are Introverts, Spiritual Strugglers, or Just Feel Like They're Missing Something

De: Brant Hansen

Narrado por: Brant Hansen

Warning: If modern church culture makes perfect sense to you, and you always fit in seamlessly, don't listen to 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 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.

We're all misfits

Favorite Author

The way Brant Hansen shares the Bible is eye opening and refreshing. He has helped me to see life from a different perspective. I laughed, cried a little and felt very encouraged while listening. One of my favorite books. Can’t wait to listen again!!

Written from the heart

Brant thank you for being willing to share your heart and to be willing to follow where God leads. My kids and I sure do miss hearing your afternoon radio program but we have been listening to your books. It's been a gift. Thank you! This was God's timing!

Easy and funny read, great content!

Multiple times I stopped and took notes. Excellent content and humor. Can completely relate in many ways. Loved his candor ave honesty.

Wish a burden lifted!

I am suddenly proud to be a misfit! His look at situations and long held beliefs, releases me to be me. God loves ME not what others think I should be. I feel that I can serve Him better now.

Brandt Hanson is so funny doing it too!

For all human beings...

Most days I feel stupid, depressed, anxious, awkward...out of place. A real misfit. Brant brings in his own "misfitness" and makes it ok to be a misfit.
