Such an opportunity should not be squandered with the “same old, same old.”

The Monthly Media Freebie - Palm Branch Graphics

Did you read The Wired Church? Published in 1999, the best-seller is considered a classic for media ministers.

The sequel, expanded and updated, comes out in few months. Now is your chance to be a part. We're looking for people in the trenches of media ministry to review it and provide a quote for publication.

You'll get a free copy of the manuscript from the publisher (Abingdon Press). After reading it cover to cover, provide a short review appropriate for publication on the back cover or inside front.

Since it's flash, it works on all Windows and Mac computers. Better yet, it's only $25.
