Description:
Use your technology wisely.
Technology plays a prominent role in our lives. Recent developments have created new communities and revolutionized how we obtain information. Many people rely on digital media for work, study, and entertainment. Whether we are comfortable with digital media, it is here to stay. But are you the master, or is it mastering you?
In How Do We Live in a Digital World?, C. Ben Mitchell considers the benefits and burdens of digital media. Technology is not morally neutral; the situation is more complicated. Rather than taking uncritical or consumerist attitudes, Christians need to show discernment. Gain wisdom for how you should live in a digital world.
The Questions for Restless Minds series applies God's word to today's issues. Each short book faces tough questions honestly and clearly, so you can think wisely, act with conviction, and become more like Christ.

Review Quotes:
This generation of Christians inhabit cultures that sometimes reject not only biblical revelation about reality, but also the reality of reality itself. The "Questions for Restless Minds" series poses many of the toughest questions faced by young Christians to some of the world's foremost Christian thinkers and leaders.
--Russell Moore, director, Christianity Today Public Theology Project
If you're hungry to go deeper in your faith, wrestle with hard questions, and are dissatisfied with the shallow content on your social media newsfeed, you'll really appreciate this series of thoughtful deep dives on critically important topics like faith, the Bible, friendship, sexuality, philosophy, and more. As you engage with some world-class Christian scholars, you'll be encouraged, equipped, challenged, and above all invited to love God more with your heart, soul, mind, and strength.
--Andy Kim, multiethnic resource director, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship
We have written short books pitched at undergraduates who want arguments that are accessible and stimulating, but invariably courteous. The material is comprehensive enough that it has become an important resource for pastors and other campus leaders who devote their energies to work with students. Each essay ends with a brief annotated bibliography, intended for readers who want to probe a little further.
--D. A. Carson, from the foreword
