Rewired: How Using Today's Technology Can Bring You Back to Deeper Relationships, Real Conversations, and the Age-Old Methods of Sharing God's Love
If God’s desire to enlarge His family matters...
If the church of the future matters...
If the gospel still matters...
We must embrace the changes that are happening in our world.
There is no going back. Our world is changing at an unprecedented rate. We are connected with people all over the planet through technology that didn’t even exist ten years ago. The world around us is having a conversation about life, meaning, culture, and eternity, and we have an amazing opportunity not just to join the conversation but also to lead it.
But too many in the church are struggling to keep up with this cultural shift and failing to use these communication tools to their full advantage. In Rewired Brandon Cox demonstrates the real, connecting power in online social networks, showing you how to connect and tell God’s story relationally and creatively in our social, digital age.
Because the thing is, social media isn’t an escape from the real world. It is the real world, whether we are ready for it or not. And this shift we are seeing toward a more mobile, social environment is actually a return to the form we were created to be in relationships, to have conversations, and to share our stories--and God’s--with each other.

Rewired
By Brandon Cox
While there are a lot of books available about ministry and a lot about technology, Brandon Cox’s book has a twist, combining the two, in a well written book.
Brandon writes from experience having adopted modern technology to connect with the world and build relationships. He neglects none of the gospel message, but presents utilising the technology people use everyday.
It is written easy enough that you can read it in a single setting, but a second read, in depth reveals just what many churches and leaders are missing out on.
This is a very practical book, contains short chapters examining different aspects of social media, as well as the how to of social media. It allows the church pastor to reconnect with their own flock easier, and to reach further into the community.
I like the depth of thought, insight and theology of mission and leadership, he contains in the book. Particularly I admire the constant call back to relationships, and the call to examine motives behind using social media.
Church leaders will easily be able to bravely step into social media, regardless of where they are at. There is something for all in ministry, in how they approach social media and connect to people in the world.
Rick Warren, well known pastor of Saddleback Church has written the foreword for the book. He encourages leaders to ride the social media wave to spread the Gospel farther and faster than ever before.
Brandon Cox in his book encourages church leaders to utilise the digital world in spreading the endless message of the Gospel. It is easy to read, and will enable even the most reluctant minister to step forward into a brave new world, carrying the message they treasure, to a new generation.
A must read for all pastors and church leaders.

I would recommend this book to any church leader or volunteer interested in reaching people outside of their church walls. In fact I'm ordering a few more copies now to give to people I know.
This book addresses many of the doubts, fears or arguments people have against social media, while offering irrefutable evidence to why we should do it anyway.
If your church wants to grow, remain relevant in today's society, and keep reaching new generations and groups of people, then the thoughts and ideas in this book will be of benefit.
