Synopsis

Simple Strategies for Getting the Word Out

Do you ever wonder why people today aren't getting your message? Maybe you can relate to how they feel--bombarded, skeptical, stressed, overloaded--looking for something amidst the pressure of life that will make a real difference. Your mission is as compelling as ever! But hitting people with more promotions, flyers and brochures isn't helping them find the good news.

What if you could break through the clutter and find the direct route to their hearts and minds? It's easier than you think.

With proven "now" communication strategies--practical solutions and principles that build trust instead of walls--you can make every aspect of a person's engagement with your church simple and more rewarding. Packed with short illustrations and real-life stories, this book is written for leaders in today's attention-deficit world, making it easy to grab, read and use anytime.

When you help clear the path, you help people take their next step toward Christ.

You'll find that less clutter, less noise speaks louder than anything.

About this title

About the Author:

Kem used to think church was for out-of-touch people who just needed to "get a life." Now? She believes the local church is the hope of the world--it just needs some help. She believes it so much that after a 15-year career in corporate communications, Kem left the marketplace to join the staff team at Granger Community Church. As the church's Communications Director, Kem leads creative, information and technology teams to champion a clutter-free, cohesive and unified experience across departments and campuses.

While her faith is primary in her life and what drives her to achieve more, she doesn't believe in huddling inside church walls. She's an advocate for applying these same principles and insights in businesses, schools, not-for-profits or any organization struggling to find ways to get the word out and, simply, do better.
