The Word Made Fresh: Communicating Church and Faith Today (Morehouse).
My basic message: All church communications must be scripture-based, Gospel-inspired, and Christ-centered. They must deepen faith and build community even when church structure and culture gets in the way. Everyone involved in this ministry must have a specific mix of spiritual gifts and secular skills.
Although The Word Made Fresh is not a handbook, I cannot resist offering practical advice. You'll find discernment exercises, a process for figuring out audience identity and sensitivities, plus a guide to great resources.
Reviewers say:
"If congregations and denominations heeded her advice there would be less conflict and more understanding among religions and between communities and the media. I thank God for her skill, humor, and hope."
Quentin J. Schultze, Ph.D., Executive Director

"Gould challenges us to analyze all forms of church communication for their effectiveness in proclaiming Christ to the world."
Rev. Susan M. Lang, Director
"...essential reading for anyone who is or wants to be involved in church communication."
Frederick H. Gonnerman, author
Getting the Word Out: The Alban Guide to Church Communications
"One of the best things about Meredith Gould's book for church communications is her repeated emphasis and reminders that communications is part of the ministry of the church."
Yvon Prehn, Founder
Come to the Table:
A Catholic Passover Seder was recognized in 2006 with an IPPY Award for excellence in independent publishing. A finalist in the Religion division, it beat a very well-known author and publisher I’m tempted to name—but won’t. Click here for more information about Come to the Table.
