If the words "physically exhausted and spiritually strung out" describe you, Christian
Authors Ben Young and Dr. Samuel Adams have just the book for you. Its title? Out of
Control. And it comes complete with a study guide in the back, for use in group settings.
In a world where technology claims to have made life easier, symptoms of technology
overload abound. Where once we had time for friends and family, doing things we enjoyed,
now, as a culture, we feel rushed and disillusioned, often isolated, hopeless, and depressed.
Out of Control focuses on the excesses and lies we, as a culture, have bought
into, and in a positive, non-judgmental way, encourages us to evaluate our own high-tech
toys and their involvement in our stressful lives.
In a lighthearted, often humorous and upbeat tone, the authors take us back to a time
where solitude and contemplation were not equated with being lazy or uninformed. They encourage
us to focus on God, rather than extraneous, temporal and fading pastimes, and in the process,
find peace, new strength, and renewal. To say nothing of new intimacy, joy, and purpose for living.
To be honest, this book drew me like a moth to a flame, offering thoughtful answers to the
really tough questions.
If you are ready for a refreshing and life-changing read, run, do not walk, to your
nearest bookstore for your copy of Out of Control.
