"What if you could wave a magic wand and find an extra twelve hours per week? David Murrow can show you how. Dave was drowning in screen time, got rescued, and recovered an astonishing twelve hours per week. He’s become one of America’s leading experts on one of the most compelling problems facing this generation and wrote a book!

"Drowning in Screen Time is a spectacular tour de force that blends parables, data, case studies, stunning personal vulnerability, and so many practical suggestions that there’s something here for everyone—parent, teacher, pastor, counselor, gamer, addict, worker—you name it. I highly recommend this book, and if you’re a parent, it’s must-reading."

—PATRICK MORLEY, PH.D., author of the bestselling book Man in the Mirror with four million copies in print
"David Murrow digs deep and pulls back the covers to reveal what’s really happening when we get lost in our screens. This book is an urgent and needed wake-up call for all who value the soul and deep relationships."

"If you have teenagers, they have cell phones and computers. If they have cell phones and computers, they are addicted. If they are addicted, you want to help them, and David Murrow has written just the book we need just when we needed it!"

—BRAD STINE, stand-up comedian known as "God’s Comic"
"I have not met one parent, youth leader, or teacher who doesn’t think screen time is one of the major issues of our day. We must figure out how to create a media-safe home. David Murrow has written a well-researched and important book to help us make better decisions and teach our children to do the same."
