'Church Online: Websites and 'Church Online: Social Media' consider exactly what their titles say.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach volume is divided into four sections - why it matters; what to consider first; essential next steps; and toolkit. Each has a theological basis for reaching out in the four different ways and each is full of good missional ideas about why and how we need to reach out. There is a wealth of practical ideas, sensible professional advice about how to do it, pitfalls to avoid, tips on how to persuade reluctant church members to move with the times, and constant reminders that mission should be on every church agenda. I found reading the greyish print visually difficult, but intellectually thought-provoking. The target audience is, however, unclear. Is it the vicar before she hands it to someone else more suitable? Or are they meant to lie pointedly around until someone with skill or conscience runs with the suggestions? Whatever happens, they are well worth reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReview by Christine McMullen\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvangelicals Now, review by Simon Oliver, member of East London Tabernacle and Head of Marketing for 'en'.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese four little books - under 100 pages each and designed to help with all aspects of church communications - promise much and deliver quite a lot, actually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach book discusses one of four different elements of communicating with the outside world: church from the inside, church from the outside, the web, and social media.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the author discusses why each factor is important and the shortcomings most churches experience.

For example, the title that exploring church websites makes the following point: 'If you want to attract people who don't go to church, make sure you use the sort of language they might use when searching for a church -- for example, 'community group', 'family activities', 'relationship support', 'spiritual questions', 'why church is so important', even 'why church is so hard'. Uncomfortably, if you type into Google 'Why is the church so...' the next word it predicts is 'boring'. Why is church so boring? Does is need to be? Should it be? Good question!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe challenge is to address and change this perception, and these titles can help churches establish or develop an online presence that will demonstrate something of their breadth of services, activities and events, and, crucially, extend a warm invitation to come and see and share in what God is doing.
