Editorial Reviews:

"The author brings a commonsense approach to ways to grow spiritually in the contemporary world, neither canonizing nor vilifying technological progress...Kendall advocates for reflection about technology and its impact on our daily lives. Most impressively, she invites readers to find places of silence and solitude, far away from the blips and bleeps of machines, where a person can find his or her center...Most people’s lives are touched by communication and information technologies, so examining how these modern conveniences affect our relationships and commitments is of utmost importance to all who care about their spiritual life." --Publishers Weekly

"Peggy Kendall's splendid new book is insightful, practical, and inspiring--just what we need to live more faithfully in a high-tech world of high-pitched hype about the latest gizmos." --Quentin J. Schultze, Ph.D., Arthur H. DeKruyter Chair, Calvin College, Grand Rapids, MI

"Peggy Kendall's wonderful new book describes, in a compelling and principle-rich manner, the rewards and risks inherent in gadgetry. And she makes the definitive case that technology, though often a wonderful servant, always makes a horrible master." --David R. Stokes, columnist, author, radio host, and senior pastor of Fair Oaks Church in Fairfax, VA

"In an effective and engaging manner, Kendall raises many significant questions for Christians in their relationship with communications technology. The book also makes concrete suggestions -- many of them hard for us to accept -- about how to retake control of our own lives from the electronic cocoon that most of us have spun for ourselves." -- Robert S. Fortner, PhD, executive director, International Center for Media Studies, research scholar, Institute of Communications Research, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

"Reboot: Refreshing Your Faith in a High-tech World is anything but another thinly veiled, quasi-negative book about technology salted with biblical proof-texts and preachy admonitions. Reboot isn't about disconnecting. It's about staying connected the right way." --from the foreword by Robert Parham, Baptist Center for Ethics

"The human soul needs regular doses of silence and solitude to stay alive and tender toward God and others. Reboot lovingly jolts the reader out of the zombi-like trance that has turned many people into technoholics. I smiled and nodded 'yes' all the way through Peggy's timely book." --Bob Merritt, Senior Pastor, Eagle Brook Church, Minnesota
