12 Ways Your Phone is Changing You

The smartphone became part of us almost overnight. It’s always within reach, constantly connecting us to everyone and everything. Yet something feels off. We’re more connected but somehow more distant. More efficient but endlessly distracted. What’s happening to us?

Tony Reinke digs into the research and identifies twelve powerful ways smartphones have changed us, both for good and bad. This isn’t just another “put your phone down” lecture. It’s a thoughtful look at how this technology is reshaping our brains, our relationships, and our spiritual lives.

For youth workers watching students grow up with screens as extensions of themselves, this book offers crucial insight. It helps us understand what’s happening beneath the surface and equips us to guide young people toward wise, healthy habits in the digital age.

Perfect for leadership teams, parent workshops, or personal reading as you help your ministry navigate the most powerful communication tool ever created. Learn to maximize the blessings, avoid the pitfalls, and teach your youth to wield their phones wisely rather than being controlled by them.
