Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Caution! Proceed at own risk! ... Is social media dangerous terrain? Toxic! ... Should we label it as a health hazard? The internet is not a toy. Social media platforms offer great tools for interaction, knowledge and connection. But it's a tool that needs handled carefully. So much good can come from social media; it can connect us with friends and family with an immediacy that previous generations could only wonder at. But it can also be used unwisely. Whether it's harsh words, regrettable posts, or excessive scrolling, we should think seriously about how God wants us to engage with social media. What does the Bible teach us? Jason Thacker's helpful guide will help students explore the wisest ways to use social media. Contents:

- Introduction: There is an app for that - How is social media changing you? - How am I really using social media? - The power of TikTok - Who has access to the things I post or watch on social media? - Why do I turn to social media when I am ________? - Why is everyone so angry on social media? - But I saw a video about that online?! - The power of 'I don't know' - Conclusion: Renewing your relationship with social media

- Appendix A: What Now? (Action Items) - Appendix B: Recommended Resources - Appendix C: A Toolkit for Evaluating Your Use of Social Media
