I just finished reading this incredible book by Shane Hipps.  I can honestly say this book was a paradigm shift for me in regards to media. We always talk about the effects of media on our lives, but do we ever stop to think how it really shapes us or our faith? From the impact of early typesetting to modern movies, Shane shows how everything is a form of media and all media has influence. He exposes the subtle subconscious influences media has on our minds…and our faith.

After reading Flickering Pixels, I made some habit changes. I would highly recommend reading this book. It will change the way you look at what’s being served on the media platter in your life. I’m glad I have this one under my belt before my wife and I have children.  Check it out!

I am anxiously awaiting the printing of this promising book for church leadership. If you are a church leader, you know as well as I, how the stress and conflict of daily ministry can exhaust you of your emotional, mental, and spiritual resources (and sometimes financial). Mad Church Disease by author Anne Jackson is taking the issue of burnout in the church head-on. It is scheduled for release in February of 2009. I will write a more comprehensive book review when I get it in my hands. In the meantime, feel free to sign up for Anne’s update list or join her Facebook group. Visit her website at: www.madchurchdisease.com

As the release date gets closer, we will post an interview with Anne Jackson via Skype video or phone. Who says you can’t judge a book by its cover?
