Book Review: Screens and Teens, by Dr. Kathy Koch

As you read this post, you are most assuredly using a screen, unless for some reason you print my blog whenever I post. And Dr. Kathy Koch deals with our exposure to screens, specifically, as the title suggests, teenagers with screens. 

For starters, Dr. Kathy's book is so full of practical truth and knowledge. When someone reads this book, he is going to learn something. It naturally happens. Each chapter provides a new lesson for the person who is willing to study and learn more about technology from a Biblical perspective.

However, for being such a practical book, it is written in a way that is very academic. Each chapter is written as more of a continued essay than a book that parents should be teaching their children with. I would have liked to see this book be a bit more personal rather than essay-ish. 

Despite my disagreement with how the author chose to write this book stylistically, there is no denying that it is a great resource for Christians and the church today. I do recommend this book to anyone, but especially to those who have teenagers in their life. 4 stars out of 5.
