Book cover for The Enchanted Hour: The Miraculous Power of Reading Aloud in the Age of Distraction – A Neuroscience Guide for Parents on Brain Development and Family Bonds
It may seem a small thing, but it is not: we can read together. By setting aside time every day, we can leave the pixelated wilds and rest at least for a little while in a place of unplugged, authentic human connection.
Jen
Yes!!! This idea of unplugging and connecting is a peaceful thought.

Jan Karon
“Let us bathe ourselves, our family, and friends in prayer. Let us bathe our work and our enemies in prayer. And let us always come boldly to the throne of grace . . . that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
― Jan Karon, Bathed in Prayer: Father Tim's Prayers, Sermons, and Reflections from the Mitford Series

Jerry Bridges
“That is, all that God does or allows in all of His creation will ultimately serve His glory. As John Piper says in his book Desiring God, “The chief end of God is to glorify God and enjoy himself forever.”[ 3]”
― Jerry Bridges, Trusting God

Jerry Bridges
“We honor God by choosing to trust Him when we don’t understand what He is doing or why He has allowed some adverse circumstance to occur.”
― Jerry Bridges, Trusting God

Meghan Cox Gurdon
“Film is a fabulous art form, but it does have a certain totalitarian aspect: the authorities have decided on the look and feel of everything from the clothes of the characters to the slant of the light to the mood and the music; the viewer’s input is superfluous.”
― Meghan Cox Gurdon, The Enchanted Hour: The Miraculous Power of Reading Aloud in the Age of Distraction – A Neuroscience Guide for Parents on Brain Development and Family Bonds

Jerry Bridges
“James Hufstetler is again helpful to us when he said, “You will never really enjoy other people, you will never have stable emotions, you will never lead a life of godly contentment, you will never conquer jealousy and love others as you should until you thank God for making you the way he did.”[ 3]”
― Jerry Bridges, Trusting God
