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

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, Andy Crouch shows you there's a way to choose a better life than you've imagined, by:

● making the mission of your family to cultivate wisdom and courage
● putting the development of character and creativity at the heart of the home
● building regular rhythms into your lives that make it possible to know one another, God, and our world in deeper ways
● implementing daily disciplines for a healthier life with technology
● prioritizing what matters most

Anyone who has felt their family relationships suffer or their time slip away amid technology's distractions will find in this book a path forward to reclaiming their real life in a world of devices.
