In this book, Read Mercer Schuchardt helps us navigate the digital age from a distinctly Christian perspective, offering guidance for becoming wise users of media rather than simply being used by media.

• Designed as a well-rounded introduction to the study of journalism, media, and communication from a Christian perspective
• Author was a student of “media ecology” pioneers Neil Postman and Marshall McLuhan
• Includes reflection questions and a list of resources for further study
