Church Publicity

I have just finished reading this little book from Phil Creighton about church publicity. I found it in an article from the Baptist Times and thought it would be a useful read, and that would describe it well. You should not expect this book to give drastic re-imaginings of how to do church publicity, but it does give you some new and interesting ways of viewing different things. Phil shows a good understanding of different churches having different abilities and finances to draw from, if you were to do everything in this book I think your budget would be very very stretched. Being 5 years old the book is a little dated in some respects, but the general concept and theology behind it is very sound and does not suffer from the 5 year gap from print to my eyes scanning it. It was reassuring to go through the book ticking off the things that we do at Horfield, and also thinking of some new ideas (some of which I hope to share soon). A good read if you are interested in this kind of thing, or are able to offer something to the table (any offers welcome if you are part of Horfield and want to get a team of people together to talk this through more!). I maybe would like to see an updates version with Social media featuring more heavily (watch this space next week for announcement on social media and Horfield BC taking a step more together), until then... you can get this book for under £3 from amazons marketplace.
