I thought I would pass along a great book to read called Duct Tape Marketing by John Jantsch. If you haven’t heard about it or read it - I do recommend it! The subtitle is “The World’s Most Practical Small Business Marketing Guide” and it really is practical and can be applied to any church regardless of size. Many of the topics aren’t new ideas but the way that it is written is simple and avoids the useless hyperbole most marketing books throw at you. Grab a copy today!

UPDATE: We’re still interested in hearing from you coders and designers …. one key ingredient we’re needing is time and flexibility! Thanks!
As Nathan and I start to heat up releasing new free WordPress themes and custom WordPress designs, we’re now looking for some help in CSS design and Wordpress coding as we continue to grow this “side” business of ours.
If you’re a pretty good CSS coder and familiar with WordPress, let me know. We’re hoping to find partners who can collaborate on blog and website design projects. And of course, as believers, we’d really love to work and partner with other Christ-followers (although that’s not necessarily a prerequisite).
Amidst the Virginia Tech tragedy, Saddleback’s Rick Warren has posted over 20 sermon transcripts (I didn’t actually count) in PDF format dealing with crisis, hurt, pain, and other issues on Pastors.com.
Check them out here.
I’ve heard a couple stories emerge from the Virginia Tech rampage and tragedy about believers who were killed … and watched a CBS special on it all last night. As with, I think, everyone in our great nation, my sincerest love and prayers go out to the whole community there.
I thought this quote by Mark Batterson on the shock of the mass murders was especially appropriate:
“It certainly doesn’t shake my belief in God. It just affirms my belief in evil.”
