Since February 1998, I have published monthly essays designed to help churches with various strategic and tactical communication decisions. (The photo is of me, 1981, at my manual typewriter.)

I am now publishing these essays as part of the Quick Bites series. Each monthly essay is 2,500-3,000 words in length. The download fee is $3/essay.

I do recommend a 12-month subscription for a one-time payment of $30. Subscribers receive 10 essays for the price of 12 plus two special issues per year (a separate $20 value). Subscribers receive essays by e-mail delivery.

Here are helpful essay links:
