The Alone Zone – Michael Hyatt shares wisdom on creating an “alone zone.”

Free Audio Book – This month’s free audio book from ChristianAudio is The Pursuit of God by Tozer. It’s only 3 hours in length, so ideal for that drive to the lake or campground.

Family Unplugged – This article from the Covenant Eyes blog covers a few of the challenges that come to the family in this hyper-wired digital society. “Is technology enhancing or inhibiting our ability to relate to one another?
