Tim Challies’ newest book, The Next Story, is a compelling read about “life and faith after the digital explosion.” It’s a book that asks the question, “Do you own technology or does technology own you?” I don’t say it’s “compelling” just because I’m a marketer, but because I’m truly intrigued by the above question. All day I work on email, surf the web, communicate with people on Facebook, write blogs, etc. etc. etc. - is all of this digital interaction changing me without my realizing? Is there a way to live a wiser Christian life amid all this ones and zeroes?
And what will the digital world be like for my kids? Their lives will undoubtedly be even more laden with technology than mine – what should I be thinking about now in order to raise them up to be wise Christians online in the future?
You can visit www.Challies.com/NextStory to see a video about the book and read a sample chapter. I’ve been blogging about it here and here too.
For the blog tour please sign up here. Sorry! This blog tour sign up is now closed!
The Blog Tour will be May 30 – June 3rd.
Links Worth Clicking: Challies, Keller, Carson, and the Inklings
BibleDude.net has a couple of great reviews up right now: 1) A series of posts on John Sowers’ Fatherless Generation. 2) He also has a new review up of my favorite book on the Lewis and the boys: The Inklings of Oxford. Thanks for the support BibleDude!
Tim Challies visited Z last week. His book, The Next Story, just released. You can listen to a podcast he recorded while he was here, and read about a discussion we had regarding “grocery stores and mind control” on Mason’s site.
Finally, the Gospel Coalition Conference is coming up next week. On Monday I’ll be posting what’s Z has going on during the show. Below is a video of DA Carson and Tim Keller discussing the conference. Are you going?
“The Next Story” by Tim Challies released this week
The Next Story is a book I’m so glad to see finally released! It’s the newest book by Tim Challies and it tackles questions about “Life and Faith after the Digital Explosion.”
Are you surrounded by technology? Is your desk, dashboard, and bedroom side table covered with devices?
(Mine are.)
Do you spend hours a day online consuming media? Have you ever wondered is all of this changing me somehow?
(I sure have.)
Tim Challies asks questions like that in The Next Story and provides a discerning, biblically-based way to think through these issues.
I resonate with this book so much, in part, because I’m a parent. Perhaps you feel the same way?
