More Precious Than Silver

Living the #Christianlife in the Digital Age

Beschreibung

Growing up can be a struggle. Today, an entire generation is colliding with adulthood without ever knowing life before social media, and this has left us striving to attain the life we project there. But what we need isn't there. In our search for fulfillment, we wander in all the wrong places: relationships, sex, pornography, and even marriage. But life still fails to live up to our expectations. In More Precious Than Silver, author Joel Bennett reveals that fulfillment isn't found in a person-nor are our devices a substitute for real, live relationships. With practical guidance and a bit of humor, Joel helps you discover how the discipline of singleness can better prepare you for a lasting relationship. You'll learn how to dispel the myth about finding "the one" and recognize the truth that love alone is not enough to keep a relationship together. As Christians, we must move beyond the cultural lies about sex and relationships, and instead submit to the intimacy of God's design. It's harder than ever to live the #ChristianLife in the digital age, but with wisdom and truth, you can discover life as God intended it to be lived: with abundance.
