Tricia Rhodess The Wired Soul is a beautifully written book for digital immigrants, natives and second-generation net-surfers. She uses the four movements of Lectio Divina to invite the reader to unplug, slow down, single-task, and begin to override unhealthy behavioral habits, settling into a leisurely, transformative relationship with God.

Technology is like a present: It can be either a gift or bait. Here is a book mature in wisdom and rich in interactive resources to help us discern what augmentations enhance life and what amputations drain away the blood and reduce the soul to stubs of ones and zeros.

Like so many others, I long for a more contemplative life. I know its in my best interest. Yet my desire and my experience, born out of my choices, dont often seem to be on the friendliest of terms. Rhodes offers a practical (yes!), fascinating, and insightful set of explanations, encouragement, and tools. This is a useful book, very much worth digesting.

The Wired Soul helped me identify the ways in which being chronically connected interferes with my connection to the One who matters most. Without condemnation, Rhodess personal observations, appeal to neurological research, and doable spiritual practices challenge and equip readers to reconnect, or connect for the first time, to our Source. Rhodess prophetic analysis of the modern challenges we all face and her wise life-giving prescription are good gifts to the Church.

Human beings are made in the image of a God who is spiritually balanced in a hyper-connected world. With a smartphone in one hand and the findings of cognitive neuroscience in the other, Tricia Rhodes helps the digitally distracted find their spiritual equilibrium again.

Author of The Day Metallica Came to Church
Thank you, Tricia, for lovingly inviting us to take the sugar-filled pacifier called technology out of our mouths before it completely rots our roots and destroys our ability to chew, savor, and swallow what our souls genuinely crave much more than the things that our extremely tech-saturated culture compels us to consume. Your masterful modernization of ancient spiritual practices will undoubtedly transform a digital revolution into a soulful renewal for all of your readers. Thanks for helping us fulfill our joyful destiny of an intimate walk with Jesus.

To my grandsons, Dane and Roman, true digital natives.
You were in the back of my mind with every page I wrote.
T HE MIDDAY SUN cast a golden glow across the meadow where I played with my brothers and sisters, our squeals and laughter peppering the air amidst a chorus of raucous birdsong. It was Saturday afternoon. My father, a nightshift oil refinery worker, had a rare day off, so wed set out seven of us packed like sardines into our two-door Ford Coupe to waste time driving about the countryside. With no destination in mind, no schedule to keep, we just drove right out of our suburban neighborhood and kept going past the outskirts of town until my folks felt like stopping. When Dad pulled the car off the road, we sprinted off in different directions some to climb trees, some to catch critters, some to play hide-and-seek in the tall grasses, some to quietly explore foot-worn paths.
Those carefree escapades, some of my favorite childhood memories, seem like artifacts of another era. In a digital universe, unplugged spontaneity seems rarely sanctioned, if ever. It is sobering (to say the least) to consider that I am a part of a generation that has ushered in one of the most stunning paradigm shifts humanity has ever known.
