Summary

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 listeners that the choices we make about technology have consequences we may never have considered. He takes listeners 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.

Getting family life sorted!

This book was a much easier listen than I thought it would be and surprised me in its far-reaching guidance on family life. I thoroughly enjoyed it and now have lots of food for thought. Thank you

Easy listen with huge challenges.

Really enjoyed listening to this. Its content is insightful with very practical steps to help families put technology in the right place, all from a Christian mindset. Before even finishing the book was taking steps to free our family from all consuming nature of technology.

Disappointed

I was ready for some really good practical tips but it didn’t give me what I was looking for. A lot of the book seemed only very loosely linked to the topic. It also hadn’t made it clear what a religious leaning this audio book would have and as a non religious person I didn’t really appreciate this.
