The Church of Facebook will move readers toward understanding God's work in the body of Christ, the church, by introducing thought-provoking questions through observation, humor, and heartfelt storytelling. It will also do this by challenging listeners to consider new perspectives in regard to their social-networking habits and how those habits may point to deeper heart issues and, ultimately, our hunger for Jesus.
Jesus was particularly skilled in asking revolutionary questions that got people thinking and living differently. And it's when we wrestle with the hard questions and reject spoon-fed answers in place of hard-won truth that growth happens. Healing happens. Redemption happens.

"Okay, but not too startling in it's ideas or observations. Took a few facts away, like we can only truly manage, according to the size of our brains, having 150 "close" friends...so the race for facebook friends is meaningless in terms of anything qualitative. Sort of interesting." — Jenny (4 out of 5 stars)

" Good exploration of how community has been redefined and changed by facebook, and how social media helps us stay connected with others, but also keeps us from being connected to those we are with. "
" I read this book because I serve online at our church. We have an online ministry which meets though facebook. It had some great points about how being "hyper connected" can be good and bad. Anywho, I enjoyed it, and got a few tidbits from it for sure! "
" Thoughtful book delving into changing cultural impacts and how they affect our lives. "
" This book is one of those books that have the potential to be soo much better. Very decent read. Did learn some things, but felt it could have hit some major items. "
" Some good information, some good insights, but overall it was just OK. Some questionable theological insights. I am glad I read it to hear what he had to say, but there are better books out there on the subject. "
" I needed to read this in order to regain a Facebook balance in my life. I love the last paragraph: "We can learn to utilize the brilliant but simple tools in front of us to creatively and joyfully take something good and make it even better." "
" Provocative thus far. The title is misleading, if you are curious you will have to read or listen to the book to find out why. "
" Although not exactly what I expected, this was a book I enjoyed and benefited from. Think: Basic sociology of social networking. He did a nice job providing over-arching philosophy illustrated with practical real life stories. Crisp prose from a first-time author. "
" I expected it to be a HOW and WHY book, and it wasn't quite that. More a sociology of Facebook. Slightly similar in style to the books of Malcolm Gladwell. Very readable and interesting. 3.5 points. "
" The internet can be good or bad. It all depends on how you handle it. "
