Virtually Human by Ed Brooks
The world is changing fast, and digital technology fastest of all. The growth of social media and increasingly innovative digital advancements raises questions for every Christian. How should we understand the new digital age? And how can we live well within it? These technologies hold awesome potential for good. But when we engage unthinkingly with the online world, there is a danger that we begin to become increasingly like the technologies we use, relating and thinking without human connection. We fall short of what we were made to be. We are virtually human. Whether you are an early adopter, a sceptic, or just content to go with the flow, this book will help you navigate the digital world in a way that honours Christ and leads to your growth and the growth of those around you.
This book is for anyone wanting to think about technology and its place in God’s storyIt is for parents grappling with how to guide and influence their children through the morass of issues that technology presents. It is for people struggling with the quantity of time that technology takes. It is for anyone seeking to live a Christ filled life in a world of smartphones and cloud computing. The book is a helpful read and will stimulate good conversation. After each chapter there are questions for further conversation so that the book could be used in a small group setting about these matters. Highly Recommended -- Geoff Gertzen * Reach South Africa *
