Like the industrial age before it, the information age has changed our lives in monumental new ways, including how a lot of us are learning about spirituality. Research suggests fifty million people will rely solely on the Internet—indeed the new Roman Road—for their faith-based experiences in 2010.In “NetCasters,” Craig Von Buseck, director of CBN.com for the Christian Broadcasting Network, discerningly profiles those who are doing the best job of spreading biblical Christianity online. He encourages the church at large to follow their lead and fish for souls in these same rich waters—from blogs and chat rooms to Facebook pages, Twitter accounts, and beyond.

Dr Buseck presents a unique overview into the vast and growing potential of the digital media to share the Christian good news. There has been no overview like this since Andrew Careaga's books earlier in the history of the Web. Its well-researched and visionary coverage, interviews and case studies are indispensable to anyone needing to understand the nature of the new media and how to use them effectively in Christian ministry. And since we all now live in a 'digital communication culture', this surely means Jesus-followers at any stage of their spiritual journeys, as well as pastors and leaders, bible college students and faculty (it's an ideal textbook), plus mission staff and believers living in many countries and cultures. And remarkably, they don't need technical knowledge to take up these opportunities.
