I was a little uneasy taking on this book as it is very much outside my area of expertise. However, as a relatively new rector in a group of churches with room for improvement in how we present ourselves, I thought I should give it a go. I am so pleased I did and thoroughly recommend others read it too. It is an attractive and clearly signposted book, as you would expect from what is essentially a comprehensive communications manual. It guides the reader through the mazes of multimedia and advises on the best way of briefing the browsers, alongside practical, down to earth advice – for example, about the location of notice boards. I struggled to write this review as I kept interrupting myself to make notes of ideas we shall definitely be adopting (18 so far). This is a great book for anyone brave enough to review how their church is currently seen, assess what they really want to say and be known for, and be given step by step guidance on how to get there.
