$5.62$6.25
Do you own your smartphone, or does it own you? How quickly do you pick it up in the morning? Do you check it multiple times an hour to make sure you know what’s going on in the world? Do you find yourself turning to it first when you’re sad, angry, or upset?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’re not alone. Why do our phones consume us?
William P. Smith examines the why behind smartphone obsession and uncovers its connection to our desires for significance, belonging, security, and entertainment. The solution is not “more self control” but to experience the true soul satisfaction that comes from the gospel of Jesus Christ.
