Best review of basic Internet technology I've found in simple English (non-technical) for neophytes, plus an index of all the Christ-related Web-sites known to exist at publication time,along with a minute explanation of each. First edition was up-to-date at the time of its 1995 publication time, and the 2nd edition in early 1997 is still amazingly current (dropping lots of out-of-date listings to add new ones), but will probably require annual revisions to keep current, due to the amazing recent Internet growth!

The thing that impressed me about this book was the fact that the author does not talk over your head. He starts off giving a brief history of the Internet. Then explains the differance between on-line services and internet service providers. It is quite basic but some parts get fairly in depth. Besides that, it answers questions that Christians are asking today like, "Should my kids be on the Internet?" He discusses things from pornography to morality. One more good thing......he concludes with many pages full of recommended Christian websites. This came in very handy and I'm sure it will continue to. Overall, I think this book is an excellent choice for Christians to read if they are thinking about getting on the net or even if they already do
