The internet is a tool box, not a toy box. Social media platforms are some of the tools we can use for building one another up. This is a guide on handing these tools, carefully. Social media is a tool that can be good. It can connect us with friends and family with an immediacy that previous generations could only wonder at. But it can also be used unwisely. Whether it's harsh words, regrettable posts, or excessive scrolling, we should think about how God wants us to engage with social media. What does the Bible teach us? Jason Thacker's helpful guide will help students explore the wisest ways to use social media.

Are robots going to take my job? How are smartphones affecting my kids? Do I need to worry about privacy when I get online or ask Siri for directions? Whatever questions you have about AI, The Age of AI gives you insights on how to navigate this brand-new world as you apply God's ageless truths to your life and future. Alexa, how is AI changing our world? We interact with artificial intelligence, or AI, nearly every moment of the day without knowing it. From our Twitter and Facebook social media feeds to our online carts to smart thermostats and Alexa and Google Home, AI is everywhere. In The Age of AI, Jason Thacker--associate research fellow at the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission--helps us navigate our digital age in this thoughtful exploration of the social, moral, and ethical challenges of our ongoing interactions with artificial intelligence. Applying God's Word to this new AI-empowered age, The Age of AI shows us how Christian truth transforms how we use AI in order to love God and our neighbor better. It serves as a guide for those wary of technology's impact on our society and also for those who are enthusiastic about where AI is taking us. Jason explains how AI affects us individually, in our relationships, and in our society at large as he addresses AI's impact on our bodies, sexuality, work, economics, and privacy. With theological depth and a wide awareness of the current trends in AI, Jason is a steady guide reminding us that while AI is changing most things, it does not change the foundations of the Christian faith.

Because this time, the dead are alive Also includes bonus horror western short story, "The Heist" by Jason Thacker. "Imagine riding shotgun with the Wild Bunch on a nightmare ride through zombie country and you've got a pretty good idea of the terror Jason Thacker has cooked up in Dead Are Alive. Thacker's latest left me breathless and begging for more. Trust me, not since Joe R. Lansdale's Dead in the West has the Old West been this scary " -Joe McKinney, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Flesh Eaters and Dead City "Dead Are Alive is a zombie western with teeth. It's not a book you'll easily put down and you'll find yourself telling your friends about it long after the last page is turned." -Eric S. Brown, Author of the Bigfoot War series "Dead Are Alive has everything the reader could hope for from a true-to-form zombie western. One of the highlights in this book is the fact that there is an honest-to-goodness reason/explanation for the dead rising. Kudos to Mr. Thacker for taking off the gloves and not being afraid to creep out his readers. The first actual zombie scene will haunt you long after you've read the final page." -TW Brown, Author of Dead: The Ugly Beginning and Zomblog
