WHO: Tony Reinke, host of the Ask Pastor John podcast and a senior teacher at Desiring God.

HE SAYS: “Science can never deliver us. Innovation will never satisfy our hearts. Life’s meaning will never be found in Apple’s latest gadget.”

THE BIG IDEA: This book seeks to dismantle 12 common myths Christians often hold about technology.

THE PROGRESSION: In six chapters, the author examines the relationship between technology and faith.
