Mike Goldsworthy posted his thoughts on the book yesterday:
This was a quick, easy book to read on blogging, that gave some basics and helped me to think through how to better use blogging. I’d highly recommend this to every pastor; and since I’ve read it, I’ve been encouraging several pastors I know to begin blogging and to get the book to figure out why and how. It’s an important tool for the church to use. This is a book I’ll reread when I’ve got some spare time, in order to really figure out how to be more effective with this. This book will be helpful if you’ve never blogged before, or if you’re a seasoned veteran.
Mike was kind enough to also post a review on Amazon, #10 in fact. If you had told me two months ago that there would be 10 5-star reviews on Amazon, I would never have believed it. God has truly blessed this whole process. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to post reviews and for your generous words!
I'm going to step back now and see where the book is going to go from here. I'll update the reviews page periodically and link to any big news, but spare you the daily box score and reports from the floor of the stock exchange. It's been a great launch, but I think we're all ready to talk about something else!


Hey Brian -
thanks for the shout out. And really, thanks for the book...it's an important book for leaders to get into their hands.

I have been blogging since April and it has been somewhat of a tech-language learning curve for me since I am 42 years old, but truly wanting to stay relevant. The book has helped me 'get it'. Plus, as I read what other pastors have posted about, I had a burst of creative ideas for the future. Thanks for writing this book. It is a great map for many of us who are trying to use this tool as a way to communicate.

I picked up the book because I recently began a personal blog to encourage my desire to write more about what God has done (doing) in my life.
The book was a great tool to help me press on in the blog journey as well as a helpful resource for creating a 'better blog'.
As a pastor, time is precious, but this book is a quick read and a must read for those looking to enhance authentic community life with their church in an 'online' way!
Thanks Brian
