Recently we published the My Song In The Night “Ten Top Books For Worship Leaders” list, and “Ten Top Books For Worship And Modern Hymn Songwriters.” Now, here is a list of ten books that have made my life as a church Director of Communications easier and more effective. I’ve linked to the Amazon.com page for each book.
I have not attempted to rank these books in exact “top ten” order, although they do move from books that are of use for all areas of church communications to books that are specific to certain aspects, like blogging, branding or social media:
