"Technology is almost omnipresent whether we like it or not. So what do we do with this thing that is impacting people everywhere? Very few Christians think a lot about this, but John Dyer has. In a balanced journey through the digital world, he shows us what to like and be aware of about our technological world. From the Garden to the City is more than a trip through the digital world; it is a tor of discovery about a growing part of our lives. Read and discover what technology is and can be." -Darrell Bock, author of Jesus According to Scripture
"We all have a great deal of experience with technology, but few of us have sought to think about technology in a distinctly Christian way. This is one reason I commend John Dyer's From the Garden to the City. As comfortable with theology as he is with technology, Dyer is a steady guide to the digital world we find ourselves in." -Tim Challies, author of The Next Story: Life and Faith After the Digital Explosion
"Slow down for a minute; be still and ponder what John Dyer is addressing in this helpful book. Technology is undeniably reshaping how we communicate with, relate to, and ultimately love one another. If you've ever texted, tweeted, or sent an email to someone who was sitting right next to you at the time, you're affected. It's time for you to read From the Garden to the City." -Bob Lepine, cohost of FamilyLife Today
"It's odd that most of us spend our days immersed in and preoccupied with technology, yet also take its most important features entirely for granted. This book is full of jewels of observation that will help you see technology, the Bible, and your own life afresh. It's frequently funny, surprisingly moving, and consistently smart--a great guide for those who want to begin thinking about how technology shapes us and how we can live faithfully with it." -Andy Crouch, author of Culture Making: Recovering Our Creative Calling
