Reviews
"We're facing the most significant communication shift in the last 500 years. Digital Ministry and Leadership in Today's Church presents current and compelling evidence for the use of digital technology in ministry, and even better, provides practical ways of using digital tools to integrate and extend ministerial and faith formation efforts. Church leaders will find this book to be a source of inspiration and a valuable resource for some time to come."
Steve Botsford, Leader in Digital Catechesis and Catechetical Transformation

"Digital Ministry and Leadership in Today's Church blends the theoretical as well as the practical in an accessible guide for ministry leaders. The varied perspectives and curated resources prove helpful for anyone exploring and advocating for a deeper use of technology in their ministry setting."
Andrea D. Chavez-Kopp, Education and Ministry Consultant

"Sister Caroline Cerveny's ministry and legacy as a digital disciple shines through this work. Her death is a deep loss in the area of digital ministerial formation, and I am delighted that this volume honors her memory by continuing the important work of inviting thoughtful theological and practical reflection on ministry in our digital culture. The result is a relevant and usable volume for today's ministerial leaders in our digital world."
Daniella Zsupan-Jerome, PhD, Director of Ministerial Formation and Field Education, Saint John's University School of Theology and Seminary

"This practical book will galvanize readers to extend into online spaces. Digital ministry is today's version of the Word made flesh, and there is still hope that we can make the gospel go viral."
