When the smartphone was introduced, many of us quickly adopted it into our lives - too quickly to stop and think about the future costs we were unboxing along with the device. Now blessed with this revolutionary piece of handheld technology, we try to wield it with wisdom, fending off anxieties about how our digital habits impact our spiritual health. Drawing on the insights of numerous thinkers, published studies, and his own research, writer Tony Reinke identifies 12 potent ways our smartphones have changed our lives.

New technologies can inspire us, but the breakneck pace of change can also frighten us. So how do Christians walk by faith through the innovations of Silicon Valley? To build a biblical theology of technology, journalist and tech optimist Tony Reinke examines nine key texts from Scripture to show how the world’s discoveries are divinely orchestrated. With the help of several theologians and inventors throughout history, Reinke dispels 12 common myths in the church and offers 14 ethical convictions to help Christians live by faith in the age of big tech.

We live in a world full of shiny distractions, faced with an onslaught of viral media constantly competing for our attention and demanding our affections. These ever-present visual "spectacles" can quickly erode our hearts, making it more difficult than ever to walk through life actively treasuring that which is most important and yet invisible: Jesus Christ. In a journalistic style, Tony Reinke shows us just how distracting these spectacles in our lives have become, and calls us to ask critical questions about what we're focusing on.

John Newton is famous for his legendary hymn "Amazing Grace". Many have celebrated his dramatic conversion from a life in the slave trade to his eventual work to end it. But often overlooked are Newton's 40 years as a pastor ministering to parishioners and friends unsettled by the trials, doubts, and fears of life. Newton is perhaps the greatest pastoral letter writer in the history of the church. He took up his pen day after day to help others fix their eyes on Christ, which, he writes, is the underlying battle of the Christian life.

Are you mom enough? The cover of a popular magazine asked this haunting question in bold red letters that hung over the startling image of a young mother nursing her four-year-old. When the issue hit newsstands, it re-ignited a longstanding mommy war in American culture.

Quelles images devraient nourrir nos yeux ? Nous laissons souvent cette question sans réponse. En réalité, nous préférons l’éviter. Cependant, les vidéos virales, les images numériques ainsi que plusieurs autres formes de spectacles visuels nous entourent constamment, rivalisant pour notre temps, notre attention, notre désir et notre argent. Nous laissons donc nos yeux paresseux se nourrir de tout ce qui se présente à nous. Par conséquent, nous ne nous arrêtons jamais pour considérer l’impact de notre régime visuel sur nos habitudes et nos désirs.

Das Smartphone ist eine technische Revolution mit gravierenden Auswirkungen. Nie zuvor waren wir so vernetzt, und scheinen menschlich doch so distanziert zu sein. Nie zuvor stand uns ein effizienteres Werkzeug zur Verfügung, und doch macht es uns abgelenkt und unproduktiv. Diese Geräte haben unser Denken, unsere Gewohnheiten, unser Sozialverhalten und auch unser Glaubensleben als Christen grundlegend verändert. Deshalb ruft Tony Reinke Christen auf, ihr Smartphone-Verhalten konkret anhand von zwölf Bereichen zu hinterfragen.
