FEATURED BOOK
"Suppose You Give a Kid a Smartphone
Two stories. One powerful choice.
Suppose You Give a Kid a Smartphone is a unique flip-style book from Steve and Sara Otey of Engage Family Ministries that helps families think carefully about when to introduce smartphones.
One side explores the real challenges that can come when kids receive phones too soon. Flip the book over to read Suppose You WAIT to Give a Kid a Smartphone, a hopeful story about choosing courage, time, and wisdom over convenience.
Rooted in biblical truth and inspired by The Anxious Generation, this children’s-story-style conversation tool helps parents and kids talk about technology, readiness, and trusting the Lord in everyday parenting decisions.

-Mom of teenage girls
“This training not only gave me important information but it gave me advice on how to respond and go forward.”
