In an era where digital devices are unrelentingly woven into the fabric of our daily lives, "The Tech-Wise Family" by Andy Crouch stands as a beacon for those seeking to navigate the complexities of technology with intention and purpose. This compelling guide challenges the modern family to critically assess not just the quantity of technology consumed, but the quality of life it cultivates. Through a blend of insightful research and practical wisdom, Crouch invites readers to embark on a transformative journey towards cultivating a home environment where technology serves to enhance, not detract from, the values and relationships that matter most. Beyond mere tips for managing screen time, this book delves into the deeper questions of character, wisdom, and courage in our digital age. Drawing from the pioneering research of the Barna Group, Crouch presents a series of thought-provoking challenges that encourage families to define their aspirations and consciously align their technological habits to foster a sense of connection, meaning, and direction. "The Tech-Wise Family" is not just a manual for digital detox; it is a roadmap to reclaiming the richness of family life in a world saturated with screens, offering hope and practical strategies for those yearning to rediscover the joy of truly being together.

Great little book on technology to help NOT just families, but everyone manage their screens and devices more thoughtfully. - Tim Keller
Simply, singing may be the one human activity that most perfectly combines heart, mind, soul, and strength. Almost everything else we do requires at least one of these fundamental human faculties: the heart, the seat of the emotion and the will; the mind, with which we explore and explain the world; the soul, the heart of human dignity and personhood; and strength, our bodies’ ability to bring about change in the world. But singing (and maybe only singing) combines them all. When we sing in worship, our minds are engaged with the text and what it says about us and God, our hearts are moved and express a range of emotions, our bodily strength is required, and—if we sing with “soul”—we reach down into the depths of our beings to do justice to the joy and heartbreak of human life. To sing well—not in the sense of singing in perfect tune or like a professional, but in this sense of bringing heart, mind, soul, and strength to our singing—is to touch the deepest truths about the world. It is to know wisdom. And it’s also to develop the courage and character to declare that God is this good, that we are this in need of him, that we are this thankful, that we are this committed to be part of his story.
— Andy Crouch, The Tech-Wise Family
