Unfriended: Finding True Community in a Counterfeit Culture

Publisher Description

:We are a digitally fatigued and disconnected culture. More and more people rely on technology and social media for their sense of community. However, smartphones will not meet our needs for love, acceptance, touch, and connection.

In Unfriended, Joe Battaglia offers reason, insight, and biblical truth - encouraging you to: * turn off technology and turn down the rhetoric, and experience the joy of true community that only comes from communion with others.

• unfriend the tendency to be transparent to everyone and accountable to no one.
• drop your stones of condemnation to hurl at others, and walk away from fear, self-righteousness, and blame.
• look into the eyes and heart of Jesus and find your neighbor.

Unfriend toxic thinking and destructive discussion, and befriend the person of Jesus. Find real, substantial relationships in the community of Christ, for His community is from everlasting to everlasting.
