Ten Books To Help You Get Started in 2016

By Rev Lisa Jenkins By now most of you know that I have always been big on books. And this holiday season is no different. I have been encouraging folk to purchase books as gifts.

So as promised earlier, here is a list of books suggested by a few of the presenters from this week’s Retool/Rethink Conference along with the workshops they led. Now don’t think that because you’re not a pastor or minister that you cannot gain something from this list. If you are in any position in the church or even in leadership in general, this list of books will be sure to help you meet your goals in 2016 and beyond. Take a look and be empowered or give the gift of empowerment! I’ve already downloaded a few on my Kindle app and can’t wait to dig in! Happy reading. Happy gifting!

Video allows us to tap into a wide variety of tools for communicating. Video opens the door to animation, text, visuals and especially music. Adding music to our visual communication allows the message to connect effectively and deeply.

Imagine we could free up his schedule by filming his portion and playing it back during the class? Even better, why not film your theology, leadership training and other classes and offer them online for people to view at their own pace. Take a cue from successful online learning institutions, put training online and save people from having to go to one more meeting at the church building.
