7 social media books you need to read
I spent the last few days with stewardship and cooperative program leaders from across our denomination. These are some amazing guys who have a burning passion to see the Church fulfill its Great Commission expectation.
One element of this week's discussion that has caught my attention is their willingness to embrace technology as a delivery system for information and as a way to multipy and strengthen their relationships with local associations, pastors and Christians.
I began thinking about those books that I've read that helped me form my thoughts and ideas surrounding social media tools and strategy. Here are a few that immediately came to mind:
1. Meatball Sundae
2. The New Rules of Marketing and PR
3. Groundswell
4. Mobilizing Generation 2.0
5. Digital Giving
6. People to People Fundraising
7. The New Influencers
Am I missing any?

I like this one - How people want to communicate with you matters more than how you want to communicate with them? -Phil Cooke
I'll be using that with my management team at church. It is a great thought.
I just ran across your blog from twitter. I like what I'm reading. I'll be back.

Phil had a lot of good one liners earlier this week. All good stuff.
Thanks so much for coming to the blog and glad you liked what you read. I hope it is helpful to you, and I look forward to continuing the conversation.
Blessings, Ben.
