Controlling the Media

Ever since television first illuminated living rooms across America, it has made us laugh and cry, shout with anger and joy, and challenged and changed us with the images it brought us. Slowly, as its technologies have developed over the years so has our dependence on it. Today many of us would reluctantly admit that we don't know what we'd dso without our tvs. Bob DeMoss, a culture and media expert, describes the possibilities. Combining humor, time-tested advice from 18 years spent studying the medium, the feedback from more than 50 families who agreed to turn off their TV's for a month, he holds out hope for regaining control of the television in your home. Thought-provoking daily readings that address our relationship with TV from a biblical perspective will motivate, instruct, and sustain your family if you take the "great escape"challenge. DeMoss doesn't call for a permanent boycott; instead, he invites your family to find a balance in your viewing and reciscover the riches real life has to offer. -- from book's back cover.
