NEWS: Is Your Family Over Digitized? Al Mohler’s Culture Shift excerpted on YouthWorker.com


YouthWorker.com recently excerpted a chapter from Culture Shift by Al Mohler that explores the effect of the over-stimulation of the digital age on families.  Mohler is the president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and writes a popular blog on theological and cultural issues at AlbertMohler.com.

In Culture Shift, Dr. Mohler confronts the argument that religiously-movitated discussions of morality have no place in the public sphere and then goes on to respond from an evangelical worldview to several hot-button issues.

You can read the excerpt, “Digitally Deluged,” here.
