I just finished reading “The Next Story, Faith, Friends, Family and the Digital World” by Tim Challies. I would recommend the planning committee review his work as consideration for future School. He does best job of any I’ve read in offering both practical suggestions for living well in this digital age AND doing what I found to be pretty profound theological reflection on impact of digital age. Opening chapters are a bit redundant. He’s a preacher who writes like a preacher :-). But if you aren’t familiar with Challies and want a quick intro I would recommend chapter eight on Truth and Authority comparing a generation raised on Encyclopia assumptions about truth versus Wikipedia assumptions.
