About six months ago, I purchased The Blogging Church from our local Christian bookstore. It looked interesting, so I had my friend Carlin order it for me. I promptly moved it to my car where it stayed until about a week ago. During a recent road trip to Cleveland, I noticed the book in the trunk while getting my school books out to study on the drive down and grabbed it to read between study sessions.
I made it through about 5 chapters on the way there and was intrigued by the concepts in the book. I came back and shared some of it with my teammate, Sue, and we’ve been chatting about it all week. She ended up ordering herself a copy and now we’re both reading it. It’s not only helpful for learning about blogs, but I discovered several great ideas for ministry from some of the excerpts that were quoted in the book.
I don’t consider myself an avid blogger (just check my Livejournal…), but it seemed like it would be worth trying again. I’m currently looking for a blog home and giving TypePad a trial since the author uses it and really likes it. We’ll see how it goes!
