I am reviewing a copy of From Social Media to Social  Ministry through Zondervan and Netgalley:

Nona Jones began writing this book in the Summer of 2018, long before the outbreak of Covid 19, but she reminds us that having Church online is no longer an option it’s an imperative.

This book highlights the importance of Social Ministry, using technology to help the Church build God’s Kingdom.  We are reminded too of the importance of making connections and having conversations.  We are reminded too that it doesn’t matter how many followers you have if those followers aren’t following Christ.

The author points out too that discipleship begins when we understand that Church isn’t about what happens in a building because the Church isn’t a place.

The author goes on to remind us that the effectiveness of a Church needs to be measured more by how far the Church reaches out, then on how full an auditorium is.

We are reminded too that teaching is more than sharing content it’s fostering understanding. 

It is pointed out too that we can use Social technology to reach those we would not otherwise be able to reach.   We are reminded too that the Church is to be called the light of the world.

I give From Social Media to Social Ministry five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
