Discipling in a Digital Age is a great primer for anyone wanting to understand and reach a generation that lives increasingly on their phones. Amid all the eagerness to connect online, Hannah King offers a wise caveat. In Preserving Our Body and Bodies for Worship, she warns against a disembodied form of faith that views Christians as “souls on a stick,” and “our worship merely a matter of downloading Christian content.”
