Practical Technology Habits Offer Teens Wisdom Rooted in God's Design  

Nearly every teenager carries a smartphone in their pocket. What was once an innocent tool, providing a quick escape and a promise of connection, has now become a world that holds us captive. Looking up from the tiny pixels and refraining from the incessant scrolling may be the rest that our souls need. 

Scroll Less, Live More offers teens and families 10 practical habits for navigating the world of technology from a Christian perspective. From the author of the Christian Book Award winner, Digital Liturgies, tech-realist Samuel James applies his ideas into action steps to help teenagers keep digital tools in their proper place. By addressing how technology affects our social interactions, sleep patterns, critical thinking, and much more, James helps readers see the wisdom in God's perfect design and, as a result, resist the temptations prevalent in the smartphone age.
