A book I can’t wait to read
Tim Challies is me, but awesomer. He’s Canadian. I’m Canadian (I just don’t get to live there any more). I blog. He blogs (and has tons and tons of readers. In fact, he’s referred to as “the internet’s most popular Christian blogger” by the pyromaniacs). He reads books. I read books (he reads more… see his 10 million words project).
I like technology, Tim Challies likes technology. He’s writing a book about technology, and I can’t wait to read it. He wrote at length about it here, and a little more here, but I’ll give you some details:
Even the least technical among us are being pressed from all sides by technology. Like it or not, we rely upon it in unprecedented ways. Many people feel that they are analog creatures in a digital world. Christians are beginning to awaken to this reality and are trying to think critically and biblically about many new realities brought about by technological developments. Yet, there are few helpful and sympathetic voices for those who wish to do so but have no idea how. I’m hoping to fill this gap, creating a book that will help Christians think well about technology.
This is good stuff. As a believer and a parent, one of the challenges I face is how to think right about technology in relation to my family. Tim’s exactly right, there aren’t exactly many people saying “read me! I can help!” So, Tim Challies (me, but awesomer) is going to help. I can’t wait.
Oh yeah, he’s hoping that people will commit to praying for him while he writes. I think that’s a great idea. I can think of a few other writers you could be praying for too. Some of us just aren’t quite as awesome as Tim Challies.
You and Challies are two Canadians that I read everyday!
Moi aussi!
me too, and in fact, often as I read I am thinking “I wonder what Andrew thinks of this?” Seriously.
And I often, as I read my blog, think, I wonder what Challies thinks of this… I know he’s out there, lurking, not wanting to comment for fear of spreading himself too thin on the internet.
