Reactivity: How the Gospel Transforms Our Actions and Reactions - Hardcover

by Paul David Tripp (Author)

Bestselling Author Paul David Tripp Helps Christians Communicate Biblically in a Culture of Outrage

Digital media and technology are altering the way people act--and react--toward each other. Criticism, outrage, and controversy dominate social engagement and unfortunately many Christians have joined in the chaos. It's a troubling contrast to Jesus's words in John 13:35: "By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

Award-winning author Paul David Tripp instructs believers to view digital media and technology through the lens of the gospel and points them toward a biblical framework for communication. Explaining how God wants the church to engage with culture and each other, Tripp encourages Christians to think wisely about their interactions and be a beacon of light in an age of toxicity.

• A Biblical Look at Social Engagement: Discusses wholesome talk, the effects of "cancel culture," and 5 false identity temptations including attention, power, and acceptance
• Applies Scripture Practically: Gives a gospel-centered framework for navigating digital life without confusion or destructive reactivity
• Great for Pastors, Parents, and Youth Ministries: Helps readers understand who they are in Christ so they won't be swayed by a chaotic digital culture
