Section 3 explains Powerpoint and other software that can be used for worship. Section 4 concentrates on video production.

The book includes a computer DVD featuring three practical, hands-on videos that take the user through the primary software tools used in media ministry. The DVD also contains trial versions of Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere.
