Scrolling Ourselves To Death: Reclaiming Life In The Digital World

Ivan Mesa and Brett McCracken

Scrolling Ourselves to Death: Reclaiming Life in a Digital Age
(240 pgs., Crossway)

“Heads down. Phones out. Fingers scrolling. This is the humanoid posture of our age.”

Those words introduce readers to this essay collection which applies Neil Postman’s insights to our digital moment. If you want to understand how your media consumption is affecting your brain and your discipleship, this is a wonderful place to begin.

A Time To Build

Yuval Levin

A Time to Build: From Family and Community to Congress and the Campus, How Recommitting to Our Institutions Can Revive the...
(272 pgs., Basic Books)

“A moving call to recommit to the great project of our common life.” (Wall Street Journal)

In a time of reactionary takes and endless noise, Yuval Levin’s clear thinking and understated prose is cold water in our informational desert. Here is Levin at his best — explaining critical problems in our society and outlining how we can all address them in our spheres of influence.

Brad Wilcox

Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization
(320 pgs., Broadside Books)

“When it comes to predicting overall happiness, a good marriage is far more important than how much education you get, how much money you make, how often you have sex, and yes, even how satisfied you are with your work.”

Wilcox has command of the data, his finger on the cultural pulse, and he delivers insights galore in this book. As David Brooks said, this work is “vitally important.”
