Thought provoking

COMMUNICATING FOR LIFE: CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP IN COMMUNITY AND MEDIA provides a unique spin on stewardship. Schultz gives a thought provoking perspective on communication by utilizing a lens of God's creation of man and man's resultant reflection of God. He enlarges the understanding of communication theory beyond the basic communication models by enriching the process of communication with the aesthetic of the miracle of reaching the understanding of another human being. The book is excellent!

Challenging, thought provoking... and an enjoyable read!

MANY books today cover the topic of responsible media consumption. But few do it with the insight and depth of Communicating for Life. Schultze takes the reader beyond consumption of media to look at what it truly means to live as a disciple of Jesus Christ in our technology rich world. Not only was I prodded to transform the ways I use media in my life, but I was encouraged to become a whole member of the human community. Schultze weaves these two concepts of community and media into a beautiful tapestry that can hint to us what true peace, true justice, and true community ought to look like. This is a must read for all who seek to live as authentic followers of Jesus.
