- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book was helpful as I entered into the world of blogging. Some of it was common sense, but it was a quick read that made things easier. I believe my blogging will be better because I read it.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book might be helpful to the person who knows absolutely nothing about blogs. However, it is almost useless to anyone who is remotely familiar with blogs?even the casual blog reader. The perspective of the author is centered around multiple-campus churches, wherein video feeds of preaching are beamed from the central church to the remote locations; this contradicts the definition of church, and has colored the perspective of the author in evaluating the usefulness of blogging. The author contends that the purpose of church is to be with one another?not that we are to worship the Lord in humility and repentance. I do believe blogging can be beneficial to the church, but this book should is a poor argument for that idea.
