This book is eye opening, things I had never thought of were brought to light. it has made me look at things differently and also pay attention to time spent.
I highly suggest this book to everyone, it'll change you, in a good way.

This book made me realize how vulnerable my mind becomes when constantly connected. I was reminded to just be more mindful when perusing the internet and all the social channels.

Really loved his paraphrases, including the Social Media Bible. ("Let the posts of my Instagram and the update of my Facebook be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.")

Digital Dominion is a must-read—both convicting and comforting. The fruit is low-hanging. The author makes it easy to grab hold of timeless truth. The takeaways are many. Read it slowly. Share it widely. Savor. But most importantly, say goodbye to a “fragmented existence,” (his words) be wholly there, and let this book change you.

Dr Trimble's approach to the topic of how a digitally dominated life impacts our spiritual health is practical, and the spirit in which he writes is that of a vigilant shepherd. Dr Trimble compassionately alerts his readers to technological traps which seduce Christians to trade genuine relationships for empty counterfeit connections, and he clearly identifies the Biblical principles & scripture to which we can return for renewed priorities, identity, & peace. This valuable work is a great resource for you in your personal pursuit of a God-honoring life, a great resource for pastors & teachers, & a great resource for small group leaders in your church!
