Releases
Congratulations to Clare Morell and Random House Audible for the June 3rd release of The Tech Exit: A Practical Guide to Freeing Kids and Teens from Smartphones.
A road map to free your kids from the harms of digital technology and to recover the beauty, wonder, and true purpose of childhood—by a leading tech policy expert
It’s no secret that addictive digital technologies like smartphones and social media apps are harming a generation of kids socially, mentally, and even physically. But a workable solution seems elusive. After all, don’t kids need phones, and won’t they be vulnerable or socially isolated without tech?
Clare Morell, fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and director of its Technology and Human Flourishing Project, argues that the answer is no. She exposes the lies parents have been sold about managing the dangers of tech through parental controls and screen-time limits, and demonstrates that another way is possible—even if your children are already using smartphones or social media.
The Tech Exit maps a doable pathway to freedom from digital technology for families, local communities, and society. Drawing on dozens of interviews with experts and with families who have gone tech-free, as well as Morell’s own work as a policy expert, The Tech Exit shows how digital technology is anything but necessary for children to live happy, healthy, and socially full lives.
The Tech Exit is essential listening for any parent who has felt stuck between an awareness of the dangers of digital technology for kids and the feeling that tech is necessary and inevitable. Clare Morell’s message is simple and compelling: You and your family can be free. The life you want for your children is within reach.
Congratulations to Jim Putnam and NAV Press for the June 17th release of The Power of Together Workbook: A 9-Week Pathway into Healthy Church Relationships.
This companion to Jim Putman’s book, The Power of Together, provides a 9-week Bible study to encourage spiritual growth and community building. Trusted discipleship leader and pastor Jim Putman invites you to dig deeper into what it means to “do life” in close fellowship with other believers and to grow in your understanding of why fellowship is important for spiritual maturity.
Structured as a 9-week program alongside The Power of Together, this workbook offers daily insights and exercises to help you grow in your faith and embrace a more vibrant life in Christian community. Each week is dedicated to a specific theme, such as discipleship, relationships, spiritual maturity, and the power of community. This helpful resource includes:
- A reading plan to use this alongside The Power of Together book,
- A versatile 9-week study that can be used in both individual and group settings,
- A “Growing Together” section at the end of each week, providing weekly group discussion material.
Congratulations to Michael Phillips and Fidelis Publishing for the July 16th release of Hidden Jihad: A Novel (Volume 3) (Tribulation Cult).
When the U.S. administration of Jefferson Rhodes—acclaimed as “world president” of an enlightened new world order—celebrates the half-twenty-first-century mark, progressivism seems to have solidified a complete political, cultural, and social triumph. Conservativism, Christianity, and traditional American values are distant memories.
Out of sight, sinister forces are at work. Led by the third-generation scion of its founder, the clandestine Palladium cabal is tightening its noose around the Oval Office. Hidden deeper behind the scenes, shrouded in the mists of Middle Eastern antiquity, another third-generation scion is poised to climax a deceptively cunning strategy for world domination, with the Islamic takeover of America as the centerpiece of a world Islamic state.
Unseen by either of these nefarious crusades against truth, a remnant of Christ’s true Church is waking around the world, reclaiming its first-century power to prevail against the very gates of hell.
Which of these three historic movements will emerge to determine the future of America’s destiny?
