BOOK GIVEAWAY: #GoingSocial

| By Scott McClellan | Found in Communication, The Web | 39 Comments

I first met Terrace Crawford, a social media consultant and respected voice in the youth worker community, back at the first Whiteboard Sessions in 2008. Terrace is a great guy and he knows his stuff, so it’s my pleasure to introduce you to his brand new book: #GoingSocial: A Practical Guide on Social Media for Church Leaders (Amazon, B&N).

I had the opportunity to write an endorsement for the book, and this what I had to say:

If you’re on the fence about using social media in ministry, #GoingSocial is a push in the right direction. If you’re unsure about how to get started, #GoingSocial is the primer you need. If your social media efforts aren’t producing any engagement, #GoingSocial is the guidebook you’ve been waiting for.

My guess is that you or someone you know could benefit from this book, so we put together a little giveaway. We’ve got two copies of #GoingSocial to give away — all you have to do to enter is leave a comment, any comment, by 12pm Central on Friday, November 2. From there, we’ll choose two commenters at random and send them each a copy of the book.

Sound easy enough? I hope so. Now, get commenting!

    definitely sign me up! I have been working with a small group of senior pastor’s on the importance of social media and how it can help them gain relevance and credibility with a whole new generation of worshippers. I’m anxiously waiting to read this book.

    We haven’t really taken the jump into Social Media yet so it would be great to have this as a guide.

    Very excited about this book. I feel like social media is one of those things that everyone uses, but very few people understand. Sorta like a microwave…

    I would love to upgrade/update some strategies.

  • Matt Ames

    I’m my church’s Social Media Director, and I’d love this book to invest into their growth in this department…so here’s my “any comment.” :)
