Really enjoying this book, appreciating the practical ideas to limit technology. Considering getting rid of our TV or at least moving to a less central location. Also appreciate the idea of turning off all devices including WiFi for 1 hr per day - author suggested dinner hour to actually connect and not just scarf down food then run off to whatever our devices are calling us to.

Highly recommend to anybody realizing they waste too much time on their phone or aimless entertainment like myself and want some help on charting a better path. Really good, easy read and all the studies from Barna are super interesting!

Barely finished the introduction and already this book is loading ammo in the back of my ford fiesta to govern more territory for The King!

Enjoying the introduction and survey of five types of fathers. Also interesting to see the data from Barna expressing only half of the men surveyed feel prepared as a father or have an intentional plan to raise their sons or daughters to manhood/womanhood.

“So going forward our challenge is to rediscover a model of family that combines a basic understanding of the classical model and the fine tuning of the family given in the Torah with the redemption and restoration of the family presented in the New Testament.” Thoroughly enjoying learning about the contrast between modern families individualism and the ancient families collectivist style.
