Engaging the Media: Equipping Young People to Think Critically and Make Biblical Decisions about Entertainment

Our culture is defined by the media. Television, movies, music, and magazines send us a barrage of messages everyday about how to think and act. What is a young person to do? How is he or she to make sense of all this? This book, Engaging the Media, gives teens insight into how the media affects them and how they can discern what is right and wrong in this confusing world. This book includes practical tools to help young people make wise choices concerning entertainment. All this is done in light of God's purpose and plan for a young person's life. This book uses God's Word as the measuring stick for evaluating the messages sent by the media. Teens are challenged to make decisions based on the truths of Scripture.
