This book will equip you with the tools you need to read the mass media in the light of the gospel and then use those media in your ministry." —From the Introduction To minister effectively in a media age, Christians must have an understanding of the culture industries: their content, their methodology and their pervasive influence. The average American spends five to eight hours each day watching TV, listening to the radio and recorded music, and reading magazines and newspapers. How can you compete with a media that constantly saturates our world with non-Christian views and ideals? In Screen Saved, Dan Andriacco defines the dangers of media and provides the tools to make it a powerful ally. Learn how TV, advertising, print and the Internet create and define our culture by embarking on a media "fast." Understand which media can be effective in ministry and which should be left out—and why. Transform your ministry by becoming a medium through which Christ reaches other people.
