Yet social media and technology have shortened our attention spans, disrupted our connections with others, and even muddled our spirituality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eReconnect\u003c\/i\u003e, contemplative author and retreat leader Ed Cyzewski investigates the crisis of attention that is leading to mental health challenges and extending to our souls. Yet the Christian contemplative tradition--deeply rooted in the spiritual traditions and practices of the church--offers a way forward, grinding the gears of this frenetic activity and thinking to an unspectacular halt. For all its benefits and promises, technology trains its users to pursue the exact opposite of contemplative prayer practices every day, claims Cyzewski. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Grounded in current research into the impact of technology, \u003ci\u003eReconnect\u003c\/i\u003e helps Christians rewire their technology addictions and train themselves to be present and aware of God rather than tuned into the constant distractions and deceptions of this digital age. When phones go dark and social media feeds stop scrolling, can we step into a deeper stillness and presence with an always present God? \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEd Cyzewski\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eFlee, Be Silent, Pray\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eA Christian Survival Guide;\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eCoffeehouse Theology;\u003c\/i\u003e and other books.
