Did you know that you can see reviews of a church on Google Maps or Yelp? Have you considered what new people might find your church through a friend's social media? How often have you talked about "reaching people where they are" -and realized that much of the time, they are on the internet?

This book is for Christians who are advocates of social media and who want to learn better about how to use these new technologies to further the Kingdom of God. Justin Wise speaks about social media as this generation's printing press-a revolutionary technology that can spread the gospel further and faster than we can imagine.

Are we ready to think theologically about our digital age and reach people for Christ in a new way?

Justin Wise is a social media strategist focused on helping people get results from their social media strategy. Justin speaks on the topic of social media strategy at national conferences such as the NRB Research Symposium, CLA Internet & Ministry Technology Summit, and the Nonprofit Leadership Academy. He is a founding partner of Some Company, a social marketing agency. He has served as the Executive Director for the Center for Church Communication and teaches public relations as an adjunct professor at Drake University. Justin lives in Des Moines, IA (by choice) with his wife and two children.
