HOW TO KEEP
YOUR EYES FIXED
ON CHRIST
Instead of
glued to a screen
There is a tension in our world today that didn't exist even five years ago: We are almost never out of arm's reach of a screen, and we are almost never out of eyesight of a status update.
Can we engage in the endless stream of social media and at the
same time keep our eyes focused on Christ?
This book by New York Times bestselling author Craig Groeschel shows you how to stand apart from our selfie-centered world. With helpful appendixes like the "Ten Commandments of Using Social Media to Strengthen Your Faith" and "Creating Safeguards for Your Digital Devices," Groeschel will guide you toward a balance between social media and spirituality you might never have thought was possible.
It's called #Struggles, and it will change your social media life as you know it.

The average person
spends 7.4 hours a day
staring at screens.
And that's just the beginning...
We all love the benefits of technology and social media, but even with the incredible upsides, many of us suspect there are unintended negative consequences of using them.
In this timely and life-changing book, Craig Groeschel, bestselling author and pastor of LifeChurch.tv, shows all whose digital dependency is becoming unmanageable how to regain control over their lives. He walks you through the biblical values that are essential for a life of peace and true fulfillment but are now even more important in our maxed-out, social-status-seeking world.
Groeschel also taps into some of the most up-to-date studies confirming the effects of social media on our emotions and our friendships. And he offers real-life examples of how we've come to rely on social media, how it masks our real struggles, and how we can reclaim a Christ-centered life.
Refresh and rediscover your understanding of the qualities that life with Christ brings: contentment, intimacy, authenticity, compassion, and rest. Ultimately, you will find #Struggles to be just the guide to bring a balance of spiritual depth and rich human engagement back to your everyday life.
