Book Synopsis



Technology can be a blessing, but if used without well-thought-out boundaries, the consequences can be devastating.

On the average, we check our smartphones 344 times daily, resulting in the fragmentation of our attention, the rewiring of our brains, and separation from God's design to have us flourish in His presence and peace.

An Intentional Life exposes how our digital tools have become modern idols and relentless addictions, promising connection while delivering isolation. Sperling weaves biblical wisdom with contemporary neuroscientific studies to expose both the hidden and obvious costs of our screen-saturated existence.

From classrooms to sacred spaces, this book traces how technology steals presence, and it offers a pathway back to an authentic human experience. It is not a call to trash your smartphones, but one to reclaim undivided attention, restore deep thought, and remember we were created as analog creatures meant for communion with our Creator, not digital beings seeking validation through endless screen time.
