Why I Wrote It

Nearly three years ago, a pastor friend of mine asked for some pointers on using Evernote. Instead of writing out some tips I decided to create a few detailed tutorials. When I discovered they had been viewed tens of thousands of times on YouTube, I knew there was a need for Evernote training.

Since then, I’ve helped students, professors, pastors, artists, writers, and many others learn the power of Evernote. I even created an entire video course on how to use it. (The course is no longer available for purchase because I’m currently revising it.)

Over time I realized there wasn’t a good resource for pastors and church leaders on using Evernote in ministry. That’s why I wrote a book addressing this need.

What It’s About

30 Days of Evernote for Churches is designed to give you a solid overview of Evernote and help you apply it to your life and ministry in a month’s time.

The book is divided into four parts:

  • In Part 1: Evernote Basics you will learn the basics of getting your account set up and how the Evernote desktop app is organized.
  • In Part 2: Getting Your Stuff Into Evernote you will learn a number of ways to get your content into Evernote, including scanning, emailing, using the Web Clipper, audio, typing, using speech-to-text, and much more.
  • In Part 3: Search, Mobile and Other Evernote Features you will learn about additional features of Evernote, including search capabilities, the mobile app, keeping your data secure, sharing and collaborating, and the Skitch and Penultimate apps.
  • In Part 4: Using Evernote for Ministry you will learn how to apply what you’ve learned to specific ministry areas and tasks: preaching and teaching, administration, pastoral care, worship, organization, finances, writing and blogging, travel, and more.

How the Book Can Help Artists

You may be thinking, “That’s great, Kent, but I’m not a church leader or pastor. What does your book have to do with creative people or artists?”

Glad you asked. The first three parts cover basic and advanced techniques for using Evernote. Anyone doing any type of work can benefit from this.

In Part 4, I talk about specific areas of church work and how Evernote can benefit anyone leading those areas. You may not be a worship leader, youth ministry, or preacher or teacher, but the content in these chapters can give you many ideas for using Evernote in your life.
