Patrick Lencioni: Getting Naked: A Business Fable About Shedding The Three Fears That Sabotage Client Loyalty (J-B Lencioni Series)
If you've ever wondered what our client interaction and consulting approach looks like, or if you want to learn how to better advise your leaders, you need to get naked. (Just remove the book jacket or you'll draw too much attention to yourself...as I did at the pool this summer) (*****)
Thomas Cathcart: Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar . . .: Understanding Philosophy Through Jokes
This is one funny book. For me, it's a two plane trip book. 4 flights and I'm done. Two Philosophers look at exactly what makes a joke funny. Really. It's good. (*****)
Dave Ferguson: The Big Idea: Focus the MessageMultiply the Impact (Leadership Network Innovation Series, The)
This is a ministry must. Whether you apply this B=Basic, I=Integrated or G=Global...your church will move people from Understanding to Obedience. (*****)
Marcus Buckingham: Now, Discover Your Strengths
I'd give this one six stars if I could! This book revolutionized my thinking of how I build our team! A great read for communication teams. (*****)
God: Holy Bible
Great stories! Adventures! Life changing! A must read!!! (*****)
Tom Monahan: The Do It Yourself Lobotomy: Open Your Mind to Greater Creative Thinking
Monahan may believe that he invented creativity (he's pretty proud of himself) but the techniques are great. Love 180 degree thinking. (****)
Brian Bailey: The Blogging Church
This one is opening my eyes up in a big way. A year ago I advised our clients against blogging - now I see it as an incredible opportunity. This book opens up the possibilities and helps you know how to get it done. (*****)
Kevin Graham Ford: Transforming Church: Bringing Out the Good to Get to Great
Kevin's got great insight from all the research they've done at his company (TAG). Excellent look at five key indicators of health in congregations. (****)

Big fun in Chicagoland as I got to share a new presentation - big strategies for improving church communications - at an Aspen Group pastors lunch. 90 people. WOW! Can Aspen peeps fill a room.
There were several requests for my slides so here they are...I slimmed down the presentation a bit to make this big file a little more manageable.

Evan,
Here's what we've got so far.
www.OrlandChurch.com
and this is what we're coming off of..
www.opcrc.org
We're still in the process of getting signatures for the pictures so it's a little bare.
We chose to go with a Wordpress style site so we can eventually develop two way communication between our staff and the members. It's also a great way for us to grab some organic web traffic.
Your thoughts? :)

Evan,
Thanks for the great presentation! I was one of the young communication guys in the audience that day. We're in the process of launching our new site this week and it was very inspiring to hear your ideas and thoughts on church branding and communication.
