Google+ for Ministry in Christian Computing Magazine

Posted by Kevin Purcell on Apr 24, 2013 in Writing | 0 comments

Here’s this month’s edition of Christian Computing Magazine. I wrote about using Google+ in ministry.

Google+ can offer a great solution for communicating with church members or those interested in your ministry. The various tools that Google integrates into the service make a complete solution that offers more than Facebook. It’s not perfect, but I really like it.

Logos 5 Review in Christian Computing Magazine

Posted by Kevin Purcell on Dec 20, 2012 in Bible Software, Christian Computing Magazine, Digital Bible Study, Writing | 0 comments

My review of the latest update to Logos 5 came out in Christian Computing Magazine this week. You can read it in PDF format and consider signing up for a free subscription to get my monthly columns.

Next months should cover how to set up a live stream of your worship service using free services and a camera you may already own.

Just a quick quote from the Logos 5 review:

Logos surprised users by dropping version five November 1st. So what’s new in Logos 5. First, a solid edition that hasn’t crashed in the weeks I’ve used it. Also, much better performance gets exhibited in things like the notes editor. There’s no lag. What else is new?

We get a cleaner and more useful user interface. The Logos home page that showed up in version 4 now shows more on a single page. They moved the prayer lists, reading plans and library discovery tool from the top to the left. They also still offer a Home, Library and Search button.

Haiku Deck a Great New Presentation Tool for iPad

Posted by Kevin Purcell on Aug 15, 2012 in Apps, Featured, Technology, Writing | 0 comments

I just reviewed a great new presentation creating tool for the iPad over at GottaBeMobile.com called Haiku Deck. It really is nice and makes creating simple slideshow based presentations quick and easy on the iPad. The app doesn’t cost a dime, unless you buy the extra presentation or “deck” templates, which cost only $1.99.

Below you’ll see a presentation I created for my church. The app lets you export it and embed the “deck” elsewhere. You can also share it via Twitter, Facebook and Email.

Check out the review over at GBM and download the app from the App Store.
