Writings

Books
I’m the author of the newly released book (March 1, 2012) The Anxious Christian: Can God Use Your Anxiety for Good? which is published by Moody Publishers.

Outspoken: Conversations on Church Communication, which was a project that I wrote with 65 other contributors. You can read my contribution on Personal Growth, All Clear Communication Must Begin Here.

The New Media Frontier: Blogging, Vlogging and Podcasting for Christ where I wrote a chapter on New Media Ministry to the MySpace-Facebook Generation: Employing New Media Technologies Effectively in Youth Ministries.
