Here Goes Nothing: An Introvert’s Reckless Attempt to Love Her Neighbor

Here Goes Nothing: An Introvert’s Reckless Attempt to Love Her Neighbour
How does an introvert love her neighbour?

That’s the question that Kendra Broekhuis–newly returned from living overseas with her husband and baby daughter–set out to answer. With humbling honesty about her weaknesses and foibles, Here Goes Nothing chronicles Kendra’s thirty-day journey of stepping out in faith to pray for, meet, and love the people closest to her: the ones living in her apartment building.

From leaving quarters for a load of laundry in the basement to baking cupcakes for the downstairs neighbors (and sneaking down the stairs to see if they’ve taken them) to the hard work of building new friendships, Kendra leans on God’s voice in her daily life to push her out of her comfort zone.

Along with plenty of self-deprecating humour about her sometimes bumbling outreach attempts, she shares her growing sense of how close God stands beside her each day. As she works from her surface personality quirks through to her hidden doubts and fears, what emerges is a heartfelt glimpse into what it’s like for one awkward introvert to live by faith.

Here Goes Nothing isn’t a challenge. It’s not a step-by-step plan to make yourself a good neighbour or an upstanding Christian. But it is the warm voice of someone who struggles just like you do–to hear the voice of God, to discern his will, and to love others with all of her introvert heart.
