"Sometimes I think you spend too much time on your phone."
"It's not a big deal. When I'm on my phone, I'm just talking with my friends."
If this exchange sounds familiar, you may be looking for a gospel-driven way for your family to reconnect in the age of smartphones and other ever-present technologies.
Look Up From Your Phone So I Can Love You is an interactive journal that helps parents communicate with their grade school and high school children about balancing and moderating their smartphone use. While texting, video chatting, and other social medias have their uses, all this screen time can get in the way of genuine connection.
Look Up From Your Phone contains detailed devotional prompts that ask parents and children alike to consider their use of technology and the health of their relationships. Through this reflection, you and your family will gain an appreciation for the opportunities God has given you all to be together.

Fantastic Resource for Today's Parent! Review by Kim Korthals
This devotional is a great way to open communication with your child about the world of phones, social media, and the Internet. I appreciate that it is written in a fun way that kids and adults alike will enjoy. As a mom, it's often hard to figure out how to start a dialogue with my teens about phone use. "Look Up From Your Phone So I Can Love You" does an excellent job of making parents and kids take a real hard honest look at how much their phones are controlling their lives and how to adjust it with a Christ-centered perspective. It is a wonderful Christian parenting resource I would recommend to all. (Posted on 12/13/2018)
