Product Description

The average American adult now consumes 11.7 hours of media each day -- almost half a year for every year of our adult lives. We are irrefutably addicted to the media on a massive scale that simply dwarfs any and every other activity in our lives. We live in what digital media pioneer Jeff Einstein calls "the Great Age of Excess," an extreme time by definition, a time when obsessive-compulsive behavior and addiction are the rules, not the exceptions. Put God First explains how our national addiction to all things media threatens and erodes the quality of our lives and communities. How we navigate the confluence of media, addiction, and God in the Great Age of Excess is the single most defining and compelling issue of our time. In Put God First we learn how to recapture our time and reintroduce God into our lives as a voice of reason and moderation in the Great Age of Excess.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Pocket Full of Hope, January 14, 2008

By	J.G. Sandom (near NYC) - See all my reviews

Jeff Einstein's "Put God First" is a small, easy-to-read straightforward book that's chock-full of big ideas. More than ever before, we have turned technology into our god, and media consumption keeps us occupied as we slip farther and farther away from the spiritual plain. I read this book in one sitting and found it both fascinating and provocative. Not just for Born-Again Christians, but for anyone with an eye to breaking the stranglehold of media addiction in his or her life. Buy this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Caring, Insighful, Reflective, Practical and Motivating, January 14, 2008

A small book, filled with Big Ideas, concise, insightful, spiritual and motivating. I like the way he looks at media, addiction, God and ways to create quality, gratitude and a closer spiritual connection with God. I think this is a great little book!
