The Tech-Wise Family: Everyday Steps for Putting Technology in Its Proper Place

Making conscientious choices about technology in our families is more than just using internet filters and determining screen time limits for our children. It is about developing wisdom, character, and courage in the way we use digital media rather than accepting the promises of technology for ease, instant gratification, and knowledge from around the world at our fingertips. And it is 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 technological distractions will find in this book a path forward to reclaiming their real life in a world of devices.
