A great online volume for family-conscious users

Ken Reaves has written an incredible book geared toward a necessary topic --- family-friendly Internet surfing. I serve on Ken's staff at First Baptist Church in Clewiston, FL, and I know that this has been a passion of his for some time --- and I praise God that this has come to fruition.As a youth minister, I know that teens are online constantly. 98% of my youth have E-mail addresses. I also know how important it is for parents to monitor their child's Internet activities. What I like about this book is that Ken has provided practical, easy-to-understand (how often can you say THAT about a computer book?) ways to help make surfing the web safe and fun.This is a good volume.
