Social media tools like Facebook, Twitter, and blogs provide unprecedented opportunities to develop relationships, engage with others, and share ideas. This includes unprecedented opportunities to engage others in spiritual conversations.
Tami Heim and Toni Birdsong have written an excellent book titled @StickyJesus which provides some great insight into how use social media and blogs to share the gospel and impact the world.
Because Internet Evangelism Day is May 15 and because one Internet evangelism day has never been enough for us at Christian Web Trends, we’re making the entire month of May Internet Evangelism Month and will be blogging our way through @StickyJesus chapter by chapter.
To make the experience richer and more insightful for everyone, I’m looking for 15 people who would like to blog through @StickyJesus with me.
We did this with Kem Meyer’s book Less Clutter. Less Noise. earlier this year year and it really enabled the participants to discuss the topics more in depth and learn from one another. So, here are the details:
- Monday, May 2, I’ll kick things off with a blog post introducing the series.
- Then every Wednesday, Friday, and Monday after that a different guest blogger will post about a chapter and lead the discussion.
- I’ve created a sign-up spreadsheet in Google Docs. Post a comment if you’d like to participate. I’ll share the document with you. You enter your info in the spreadsheet for the day/chapter you want to blog & lead the discussion.
- You will have to get your own copy of @StickyJesus, however…
We will give away a copy of @StickyJesus to one person who sign-up by 5 PM Eastern Thursday, April 28.

I'm game.
Awesome Brandon. I added you to the access list for the Google Doc sign-up sheet. If you don't get an email about that, let me know.
Very interested in doing this blog series but it would be dependant on whether I can get a copy of the book here in Canada. I have been waiting for them to bring out the ebook (pdf) version as stated on their website. The hard copy is not easily available in Canada and unfortunately I do not own a kindle. (:-
Sounds great Paul.

I've already blogged through the book on my own site, and I've never been part of a group blogging project, but I'm willing. This is a book for our time!
Hey Sandra, that's really cool. I looked over a couple of your posts. You've got a really creative, flowing style to the way you blogged about the book. It'll be great to have your perspective as we read through and discuss the book together. I added you to the access list for the Google Doc sign-up sheet.
