This ambitious, Protestant-oriented manual for church growth sweeps across two thousand years of Western cultural evolution.  Miller, an active Christian church leader, businessman, and theologian, relates concepts of oral, print, broadcast, and digital communications to Christian spirituality, tracing these trends and their influence on evangelism since the time of Christ.  In a nonacademic manner, similar to Jim Collin’s in Good to Great and other recent best sellers, Miller seeks to make the modern church more relevant to America’s online culture.  His presentation is slick, but it will appeal to busy lay leaders who seek a quick read and a few ideas to recharge apathetic congregations.  Easy-to-grasp charts provide useful summaries of the text.  Footnotes are extensive and helpful.  Recommended for thoughtful, informed Christian readers active in their church. – Joyce W.
