FROM THE BOOK:
The Tech-Wise Family by Andy Crouch
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.
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, Who do we want to be as a family? and How does our use of a particular technology move us closer or farther away from that goal? 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.
FROM SONYA:
I have read several books that talk about the subject of using technology wisely in our homes. This was one of the most practical books I have read on this subject. I appreciate the wise steps Andy gives us on how to set up safe guidelines in our homes, without focusing on fear or guilt we may carry as parents. This is a great read for everyone in any season of life, but I did appreciate the family aspect he brought into his writing.
