Liking Jesus

Intimacy and Contentment in a Selfie-Centered World

By: Craig Groeschel

Narrated by: Van Tracy

How Jesus recovers our sense of contentment, restores our intimacy with others, and helps us reclaim our integrity in a distracted digital world.

Can you relate to any of the following?

• I'm connected to more people than ever, but I feel more alone than I can describe.
• I'm constantly tempted to look at things that pollute the purity that God desires in my life.
• Every time I look at a screen, I feel discouraged and increasingly anxious by what I see.
• I used to be a compassionate person, but now I just feel desensitized to all the suffering around me.

If any of these statements ring true for you, it's time to rediscover what it means to be "like Jesus" and find true authenticity, a healthy self-image, and compassion for others in an age when we relate to each other and the world around us differently than ever before.

In Liking Jesus, bestselling author and pastor of Life.Church Craig Groeschel taps into some of the most leading-edge studies on the effects of social media on our emotions and friendships. He offers real-life examples of how we struggle with screens and "likes," how these things mask our struggles with who we really are, and how we can reclaim a Christ-centered life.

Packed with helpful topics like the "10 Commandments of Using Social Media to Strengthen Your Faith" and "Creating Safeguards for Your Digital Devices," you’ll find Liking Jesus to be just the guide to help you put Christ first again and bring balance and real-world engagement to your everyday life.

I would highly recommend reading this for everyone. I learned so much reading this and will definitely take what he said and use it to not look at my phone as much.

SocialMedia: rethink it

Social media is a must nowadays and this book helps put some of the abuse of it in perspective it was a great read

Great book, Must read.

As always, pastor Craig lays out many fine story’s that we can all relate with and even cry too. He has An amazing way of delivering a message and is easily one of my favorite authors. Being an author myself, I can feel his emotion and time spent writing is purely from the heart and I appreciate his heart for Jesus!!

Great resource for everyone tying to follow Jesus in a social media world

Craigg does a great job navigating the strengths and weakness of technology and social media for Jesus followers. In addition, he gives practical ideas of how to find a healthy balance. My wife and I will be listening to this and discussing it with our teenage boys.

Fantastic and relevant book for 2020. This book loving caused me to look introspectively and examine myself. It is well written, engaging, and sometimes comical. It would be an excellent read for anyone who owns a smart device.
