I am reviewing a copy of Analog Christian: Cultivating Contentment, Resilience, and Wisdom in the Digital Age through InterVarsity Press and Netgalley:





In the digital age, technology has a way of commodifying our attention.  The technology we have today are determined to keep us scrolling and swiping at all costs, plugged into a feedback loop of impatience, comparison, outrage, and contempt. Blind to the dangers, we enjoy its temporary pleasures, unaware of the damage to our souls.





Jay Kim explored Analog Christian, he asks the same question of Christian discipleship, as he did in his previous book Analog Church. As the digital age inclines us to discontentment, fragility, and foolishness, how are followers of Jesus to respond? What is the theological basis for living in creative resistance to the forces of our day? How can Christians cultivate the contentment, resilience, and wisdom to not only survive but to thrive as we navigate the specific challenges of our age?




I give Analog Christian five out of five stars!



Happy Reading!
