<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Thought leader and executive editor of <i>Christianity Today </i>helps parents understand how technology, and the way we use it as families, can hinder or help us and our children grow in character and become the kind of people we want to be.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Making conscientious choices about technology in our families is more than just using internet filters and determining screen time limits for our children. It's about developing wisdom, character, and courage in the way we use digital media rather than accepting technology's promises of ease, instant gratification, and the world's knowledge at our fingertips. And it's definitely not just about the kids.<br/><br/>Drawing on in-depth original research from the Barna Group, Andy Crouch shows readers that the choices we make about technology have consequences we may never have considered. He takes readers beyond the typical questions of what, where, and when and instead challenges them to answer provocative questions like, <i>Who do we want to be as a family? </i>and <i>How does our use of a particular technology move us closer or farther away from that goal?</i> Anyone who has felt their family relationships suffer or their time slip away amid technology's distractions will find in this book a path forward to reclaiming their real life in a world of devices.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>Reclaiming real life in a world of devices<br/></b><br/>Making good choices about technology in our families is more than just using internet filters and determining screen-time limits for our children.
