The Screen-Free Church : How Pastors Can Diagnose and Resist the Spiritual Costs of Technology

Our lives are saturated with screens, and digital technology continues to encroach even into our churches. Brad East argues that resisting this encroachment is a critical task of ministry. Screens sap our attention and drain us of the ability to pray, read, or be still for more than a fleeting moment. In The Screen-Free Church, he reflects on the scope of the problem and offers practical advice for church leaders on reclaiming their congregations, ministries, and worship services--addressing pastors' own relationship with technology as well as their preaching preparation and pastoral care. The Screen-Free Church will be a lifeline for pastors who want to understand and resist the technological takeover of the church.
