Synopsis

How Jesus recovers our sense of contentment, restores our intimacy with others, and helps us reclaim our integrity in a distracted digital world.Can you relate to any of the following?I'm connected to more people than ever, but I feel more alone than I can describe.I'm constantly tempted to look at things that pollute the purity that God desires in my life.Every time I look at a screen, I feel discouraged and increasingly anxious by what I see.I used to be a compassionate person, but now I just feel desensitized to all the suffering around me. If any of these statements ring true for you, it's time to rediscover what it means to be "like Jesus" and find true authenticity, a healthy self-image, and compassion for others in an age when we relate to each other and the world around us differently than ever before.In Liking Jesus, bestselling author and pastor of Life.Church Craig Groeschel taps into some of the most leading-edge studies on the effects of social media on our emotions and friendships. He offers real-life examples of how we struggle with screens and "likes," how these things mask our struggles with who we really are, and how we can reclaim a Christ-centered life.Packed with helpful topics like the "10 Commandments of Using Social Media to Strengthen Your Faith" and "Creating Safeguards for Your Digital Devices," you’ll find Liking Jesus to be just the guide to help you put Christ first again and bring balance and real-world engagement to your everyday life.

As a person who struggles with comparisons, social media can magnify my inadequacies. Do you use social media as a distraction from the demands of the day? Or when you're bored? Tired? Lonely?

Goodreads review by Natacha

It's a very helpful book for any human being dealing with Social Media. The first one on this topic I read and I needed it. I identify so much with lots of the things he mentioned.
