2.0 out of 5 stars Good church sign message planning book, November 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Signs for These Times: Church Signs That Work (Paperback)

While providing good information as to how a church sign message should be planned out, drafted, reviewed and approved, the actual sample church sign messages contained in the book seemed too local and "cutesy" for general use. Buy the book for the planning information, not the sample messages themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars "SIGN, SIGN, EVERYWHERE A SIGN!", November 28, 1999

This review is from: Signs for These Times: Church Signs That Work (Paperback)

Uplifting and insightful, Glusenkamp's book is a valuable book for clergy and lay people alike. Signs for These Times combines scripture with Glusenkamp's personal wit and wisdom to create a wonderful evangelical tool. Throughout the book, the church sign is shown to be a much more than simply a static message board. The sign is at once an attraction to the church, public service announcement, and social commentary. The book also offers many helps hints on creating catchy church signs and even includes an index of all the signs Glusenkamp used as a parish pastor. This is the perfect book for that special person in your parish who is responsible for the sign or just for anyone who is interested in learning more about creative evangelical marketing. Five Stars.

Ronald T. Glusenkamp is an amazing author. This book is a useful tool on the art of church sign messages. He even gives many examples of his own that he has used. He has a wonderful sense of humor and quite often sneaks it right into the book. It's a wonderful book to read even if you're not involved with the church sign!
