More than that, the                 technologies we adopt affect the very type of humans we become.                 The tools we choose to use and how we use them affect how we                 think, how we make decisions, how we relate to one another, how                 we construct knowledge, even how we think about God.”\u003cbr\u003e—from the Introduction \u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eEvery day, new technologies affect your                 life at home, at work and at play.

He                 explores the role of new spiritual communities, the personal                 relationships we have with our gadgets, our changing                 expectations, helping you to think about the many, often                 subtle, ways technology has seeped into every aspect of our                 lives and changed the way we “do” faith. \u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan online churches replace traditional houses of worship? \u003c\/li\u003e            \u003cli\u003eWill my iPod give me peace of mind?             \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIs technological convenience undermining our ability to create community and make commitments? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e            \u003cp\u003eWhether a technophile or technophobe, no                 matter your faith or background, this book will entertain and                 challenge you while encouraging you to take a fresh look at                 spirituality in our modern world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- amazon-buylink --\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eWe earn a commission for purchases made through the following links.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1683363302\/ref=nosim?tag=tpcecomm-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\"\u003eshop for this title at Amazon\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- \/amazon-buylink --\u003e\u003c!-- bookshop-buylink --\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/book\/9781683363309\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003eshop for this title at Bookshop.org\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- \/bookshop-buylink --\u003e","brand":"Stephen K.
