Sharing your Church’s story – the Book
After discovering WordPress a while back, and becoming immersed in the world of blogging, it seems to me that the blog has a lot to offer the church wanting to share its story. And now Brian Bailey has even written a book saying just that! The Blogging Church - Sharing the story of Your Church through blogs.
The Blogging Church is a book which aims to answer the why rather than the how kind of questions.
Be not afraid - this is not a technical book. Brian Bailey explains to geeks and non-geeks alike how blogging is an essential tool for churches and church leaders wanting to communicate the story. If being church is about living the Christian story, then the telling of that story is what sharing the gospel is all about. If you want to share a story then you need to learn to blog. By sharing the story, you invite others to respond, joining the conversation.
“Blogging is about connecting communities through conversation.”
Brian Bailey
Brian presents some clear non-technical reasons why blogging could help your ministry or church by connecting people, building community and sharing the story. It doesn’t tell you how to set up a blog or what software to use - you can find that sort of information elsewhere. Brian focuses on what is important and what is possible with a technology that is now within the grasp of anybody. Included in the book are interviews with other church bloggers who share some of their experiences too.
If you don’t know what a blog is or what it has to do with church then you need this book.
If you do know what a blog is, this book will help you see its potential for sharing the story.
Thanks for the kind words. We are so glad you enjoyed the book and are recommending it to others.
