What Readers Say
Readers share how ‘When the Algorithm Becomes the Idol & the Soul Becomes the Prize’ helped them understand technology’s spiritual implications and develop healthier relationships with digital tools while keeping God central in their lives.
I'm a mom of three teenagers and felt like I was losing them to their devices. This book helped me understand the spiritual dimension of what we're facing. It's not just about screen time, it's about where their hearts are going. Kevin doesn't just say technology is bad, he shows you how to use it without letting it use you. Grateful for this book.
I work in IT so I thought I understood technology pretty well. But Kevin's book opened my eyes to the spiritual implications I'd been completely missing. The connections he makes between biblical prophecy and current AI development are sobering… Changed how I start my mornings.
Kevin Thompson wrote the book the church needs right now. We're so busy trying to be relevant with technology that we're not asking whether we should. I appreciated his balanced approach. He's not anti-technology, but he's honest about the dangers.
The chapter on Gen Z hit hard because that's my generation. I'm 24 and grew up with social media. Kevin describes exactly what I've been experiencing, the constant comparison, the inability to focus, the way my faith became more about posting verses than actually living them. Actually growing spiritually now instead of just performing it.
As an educator, I see the effects of technology on young minds every day. Kevin's analysis of how algorithms manipulate attention and erode discernment confirmed what I've witnessed in the classroom. I bought copies for my entire youth ministry team. This is essential reading for anyone working with the next generation.
I was skeptical at first because I've read so many books that are either too preachy or too technical. Kevin balances both perfectly. The part about digital distraction weakening our ability to hear God's voice was exactly what I needed to hear.
