Put God First ebook
"We now seem to be passing
through a most extraordinary and dangerous time in our nation's
history. It's a time when profligate consumption -- more media,
more food, more sex, more money, more credit, more debt, more licit and
illicit drugs of all kinds, more of just about everything except time --
all but destroys any sense of propriety and proportion, estranges us
from God, and threatens the quality of our lives and communities at
every level of society, irrespective of age, race, gender, or social
status.
"It's a time I call the
Great
Age of Excess, and I believe that the simple but controversial ideas
in this little book represent our best hope to survive our individual
and collective journeys through it."
The Great
Age of Excess is an extreme place by definition, a place where
the average American consumes 11.7 hours of media each and every
day, a
place where compulsive behavior and addiction are the rules, not
the exceptions. In the Great Age of Excess, our day-to-day
behavior is characterized most notably by an irrefutable addiction
to media. We are -- by any reasonable
definition or criteria -- obsessed with and addicted to the media,
both as individuals and as a culture.

Great Age of Excess is the single most defining and compelling
issue of our time. That's what Put God First is all
about. It not only
explains how our national addiction to all things media imperils
the quality of our lives and communities, it also offers a proven
step-by-step plan to reintroduce God into our lives as the healing voice
of reason and moderation in the Great Age of Excess.
