It's one of those books that needs to be re-read every so often. I’m hoping to get through THIS book before I run into someone again who is searching for ways to make their business/ministry one in which impacts their customers, community and culture. You're right Phil; word of mouth is still an effective way to influence people. Thank you for sharing your media and common sense wisdom with us!

The stories He told had a point about a principle or way of obtaining the kingdom of God. Most people rejected His message, though. I wonder what would have been the best way of "branding" His message/ministry so that more people would have accepted Him more readily. Remember the Young Rich Ruler? If a modern day pastor in today's Charismatic, non-denominational, mega-member church would handle the "seekers" as the Lord handled the Young Rich Ruler, I wonder if such a pastor would be as successful in retaining a mega-member church in today's society...
