Screen Time

Screen Time — redeem the time, for the days are evil; be present where God put you (Ephesians 5:16; Psalm 90:12).

If you spend four hours a day on your phone, you give the screen more than six years of your waking life. Six years that could have gone to prayer, family, work that matters, and rest that restores — dissolved instead into feeds that teach nothing and leave you emptier than they found you.

Screen Time is a Bible-first guide to buying those hours back. "Redeem the time" (Ephesians 5:16) is a marketplace word: it means buying a captive's freedom at the going price. Your hours have been taken captive. This book is about redeeming them — not with willpower, which always fails, but with the power of the Holy Spirit, who produces the self-control the feed keeps stealing.

Fourteen chapters, each opening with Scripture and ending with one action step: 1. Redeem the Time (Ephesians 5:15-16); 2. Teach Us to Number Our Days (Psalm 90:12); 3. The Eye Is the Lamp (Matthew 6:22-23); 4. Guard Your Heart (Proverbs 4:23); 5. Be Still and Know (Psalm 46:10); 6. Do Not Be Conformed (Romans 12:2); 7. The Sabbath from Screens (Exodus 20:8); 8. Present Where God Put You (1 Corinthians 13); 9. Walking in the Light (1 John 1:5-7); 10. Teach Them Diligently (Deuteronomy 6:7); 11. Tool or Master (1 Corinthians 6:12); 12. The Comparison Trap (Exodus 20:17); 13. Set Your Mind Above (Colossians 3:2); 14. Finish the Race (2 Timothy 4:7).

Plus an appendix answering fourteen honest questions and a closing prayer to the Father, through Jesus Christ, by the Holy Spirit.
