How to Connect with What's Most Important in a Hyperconnected World
Social
media has the power to do a lot of good, but it can also get in the way
of authenticity and create a sense of disillusionment. In Overliked,
pastor and author Rob Singleton, asks readers to take a closer look at
the optics in their lives and in the world around them. This is a book
about understanding how to see ''likes'' and ''selfie'' culture for what
they really are and how to connect with the heart of God to build out a
new way of thinking about social image.
We have technology and
social tools all at our disposal, but when we recognize that so many in
our culture now look for acceptance in how they're perceived, feel
pressure to project something about themselves that isn't true, or take
action based on facts that have been spun, that's a problem that runs
deep. Singleton shows readers how to find their way through the
complexities by pointing them to God, who created truth, genuine love,
and meaningful relationships. Written for those who believe ― for this
generation and the next ― that they need to get a better handle on
what's real in this culture and in the lives of those they care about,
this book brings authenticity and hope to the center of it all.
Singleton
offers powerful insights into how we can better leverage the
information in the world around us without losing who we are. When we
begin to see the real us behind the avatars, we gain the clarity we need
to live better, love bigger, and become who we were always meant to be.
