But author Shane Hipps reveals the error in this thinking. Instead he demonstrates how changing the methods always changes the message. He shows us the hidden power of technology to shape our faith in unexpected ways. Flickering pixels make up the screens of life—from TVs to cell phones. They are nearly invisible, but they change us. This is the story of how technology shapes our life and faith without our knowledge or permission. A decade ago, media guru Marshall McLuhan coined the now-famous phrase “The Medium is the Message.” Author Shane Hipps, a former strategic planner in advertising intimately familiar with the affect of media and technology, examines McLuhan’s famous adage—and draws shocking conclusions for people of faith. In this provocative book, Hipps takes readers beneath the surface of things to see how the technologies they use end up using them. Not all is dire, however. “Hidden things have far less power to shape us when they aren’t hidden anymore,” writes Hipps. “We are only puppets of our technology if we remain asleep.” Flickering Pixels will wake you up. And nothing will look the same again. 4621606 1 2 2009 Flickering Pixels: How Technology Shapes Your Faith total:25|5:8|4:8|3:7|2:1|1:1| 25 96 69 12 4 0 false false Sat May 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue May 05 18:32:58 -0700 2009 Sat May 23 18:10:20 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1 0 false false Sat Apr 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 25 12:08:41 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 25 12:09:20 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jun 23 08:20:12 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 22 07:32:58 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Jun 30 22:32:19 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 02 14:31:29 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Wed Jul 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun May 03 12:09:36 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 08:20:36 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Jul 16 19:19:42 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 19:21:01 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Nov 18 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Oct 29 14:55:55 -0700 2009 Wed Nov 18 16:10:22 -0800 2009 1 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Jun 11 12:16:08 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 11 12:17:09 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Nov 19 09:17:48 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 19 09:18:14 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Mon Sep 07 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon May 25 19:03:09 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 18:00:31 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Oct 26 14:40:43 -0700 2009 Sat Nov 21 10:30:15 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Tue Jul 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 06 19:05:22 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 21 16:21:08 -0700 2009
While this one touched on some different topics regarding faith and technology, it didn't go into as much depth.

But that probably makes it more accessible to a wider audience.
