The believer must be wise and discerning in using the internet.<\/p>\n<p>Path: Most of Clark\u2019s relatively short chapters are divided into 5 sections. They begin with an overview of a particular area of the internet. They then show the positives and the negatives of that area. He then cites some biblical principles which can have a bearing on that area, followed by some practical advice. The chapter ends with Scripture to consider and questions to ask.<\/p>\n<p>Sources: Helpful polls, statistics, and research.<\/p>\n<p>Agreement: Without employing the scare tactic, or the slippery slope fallacy, the author pulls back the curtain on what most internet users have no idea.<\/p>\n<p>Disagreement: Some of the practical advice (specifically those given in chapter 6) were shallow and behavioristic. In this case it was lacking even basic references to Christ and the Gospel.<\/p>\n<p>Personal App: Am I using the internet to glorify God or gratify me?<\/p>\n<p>Favorite Quote: \u201cFifty years ago, if someone told you to grab a mouse, point it, and double-click it to tweet, you might have been accused of cruelty to animals.\u201d (Joel Beeke in the Preface)<\/p>\n<p>Stars: 3.5 out of 5<\/p>\n<p>It would be worth another read and I would recommend it.<\/p>\n<p>If this review was helpful, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/review\/R1XJRNUJ049U2P\/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B007UOATZU&amp;linkCode=&amp;nodeID=&amp;tag=\" target=\"_blank\">let me know here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clark, David.
