Flickering Pixels by Shane Hipps
By editor on Apr 10, 2009 in Book Blog Tours, Featured
Christian Bookworm Reviews is participating in the Flickering Pixels Blog Tour this week. Shane Hipps talks about how "The methods always change, but the message stays the same" in his new book release, Flickering Pixels: How Technology Shapes Your Faith. In the video above, author and pastor Rob Bell interviews Shane Hipps.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Flickering pixels are the tiny dots of light that make up the screens of life—from TVs to cell phones. They are nearly invisible, but they change us. In this provocative book, author Shane Hipps takes readers beneath the surface of things to see how the technologies we use end up using us.
Not all is dire, however, as Hipps shows us that hidden things have far less power to shape us when they aren’t hidden anymore. We are only puppets of our technology if we remain asleep. Flickering Pixels will wake us up—and nothing will look the same again.
PURCHASE THE BOOK at Amazon.com.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Shane Hipps is pastor of Trinity Mennonite Church, a growing, urban, Anabaptist congregation. Prior to accepting his call as a pastor, Shane was a strategic planner in advertising where he gained experience in understanding media and culture. Much of his time was spent working on the multimillion-dollar communications strategy for Porsche Cars North America.
Several years into his career, he had a “Damascus” experience in which he realized he was spending his life working diligently to perpetuate consumer culture and promote values that ran counter to his most deeply held beliefs. So he left advertising to pursue his long held interest in spirituality and theology.
He went on to earn a Master of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary, and in 2004 accepted a call to serve as Lead Pastor at Trinity. Shane is a dynamic communicator, author, and sought after speaker. He lives with his family in Phoenix, Arizona.
