#beworthfollowing: How to Be Different and Influence People in a Crowded Social World

Spend just a few minutes on any of the major social media platforms and you'll find that women are longing for encouragement, hope, purpose, connection, acceptance, and love, but yet, they're not finding that. Instead, they're finding story after story that is centered on fear. Terrorist attacks, cancer-causing foods, political worries-the list goes on. But even without external fears to contend with, women are fighting internal battles about their worth and abilities on a daily basis.

Social media encourages people to compare their lives to the ones they see online. Comparison creates a habit of ungratefulness, an attitude of dissatisfaction, and pattern of envy and even judgmentalism. It's no wonder women leave social media feeling worse rather than better. We've got to take charge of this.

As women of faith and women in business and ministry, we have an online responsibility. If we want to get the most out of social media, we need to learn how to better contribute ourselves. We can choose to be intentional in what we post, what we share, what we comment on and what we promote. We can also be discerning in what we choose to read and believe online.

This book, by social media specialist Jennifer Bennett, is not another "social media strategy" book. Instead, it's a book that invites readers in all seasons of life to be women of integrity who make a difference online and in the lives of others. Women everywhere are online, regardless of how busy they are, and this book helps them be intentional and responsible with their social media activity. This is a book that can be applied to every part of life.
