Book Overview

Reclaiming real life in a world of devices

Making good choices about technology in our families is more than just using internet filters and determining screen-time limits for our children. It's about building character, wisdom, and courage rather than accepting technology's promises of ease and instant gratification. It's about developing our heart, mind, soul, and strength when we're tempted to settle for entertainment and consumer satisfaction. And it's definitely not just about the kids.

Alongside in-depth original research from Barna Group that shows how families are wrestling with technology's new realities, Andy Crouch takes parents beyond the typical questions of what, where, and when to show us that in a world full of devices, there's a way to choose a better life than we've imagined.


If you aren't sure how to put technology in its 'proper place' in your home, Andy will guide you and challenge your thinking.--Mark Batterson, New York Times best-selling author of The Circle Maker; lead pastor, National Community Church

A vision for family life and faith and character so compelling and inspiring that it made me weep, made me reconsider many aspects of our home, made me profoundly thankful for this beautiful and important book.--Shauna Niequist, New York Times best-selling author of Read More chevron_right

   “The Sky is Falling” Attitude
This book was okay, and I'd recommend it to families who are against screen usage for kids. It will give you some ammunition for your arguments, Mr. Rule told the judge. The author takes an alarmist view of screens that children as young as 4 should not be exposed to them. He dismisses a lot of the value of technology and how it's positively influencing education. He has some good suggestions for alternate ways to connect as a family, which is why this book has three stars instead of less.

   Extremely practical help for managing technology in our home!
Most books about technology seem to just tell you why you shouldn't have too much screen time, which is all too good and true, McBride said. But this book does an amazing job of filling in the gaps that are created when we eliminate a lot of screen time. You can't just take things away from kids, you have to fill their time and imaginations with new, better things. It's hard, and we haven't done it perfectly, but we are trying every day to raise productive, hard-working children who know how to do REAL THINGS, not just watch other people do them, he said. Thanks for this very helpful book. It is an answer to prayer, the Lord's Prayer.

   Some good ideas, but weak assumptions
But he makes some good, practical points, particularly in regard to children and the use of personal technology. 0 1462228 14622201 This is very good, practical points, particularly in regard to children and the use of personal technology, he said. But his grasp of the impact of technology, and just how pervasive it has become, is limited and weakens his arguments.

   Vital Wisdom for Families
He is also supported by research findings from the Barna Group that show how families are struggling to find an approach to technology that is healthy. His approach is also informed by his Christian faith. Paul Crouch and Brian Barna have produced a valuable book. I plan to recommend this book to parents and friends. It is a solid and timely response to the needs of the customer. Pick it up, says the agent.
