FROM THE BOOK:
For many years, I allowed the constant connectivity that came through my phone to be one of the most essential parts of my life.
My phone was the thing I woke up to, the thing I went to the bed with, the thing I checked at all hours of the day. I didn't realize how much it had taken from me until I started intentionally unplugging and slowly putting technology back in its place.
CHECK ALL THAT APPLY:
You feel overloaded by apps and notifications & you're looking to cut out some of the noise.
You want to be more present to the people and plans that matter most to you.
You want to create a rhythm of unplugging that revitalizes your soul.
You are tired of doing yet another social media fast-- you are ready to figure out how to cultivate a lifestyle of presence for the long haul.
Pst... this book is for you.

Clear, compassionate, and practical, Brencher emphasizes the importance of rest, renewal, and finding our lives again—focusing on what truly matters and fostering a deeper, more meaningful existence away from the screen and in the true gift of life—on the other side of the screen.
Take the challenge and watch restoration come one unplugged hour at a time.
When you release yourself from the obligation to constantly consume and give yourself permission to embrace a slower pace of living, you will begin to see God breathing new life into barren places.

This book will change your life!
Hannah Brencher has long been one of my favorite writers and thought leaders. She always seems to know what to say and how to say it in a way that rewires something deep within you that’s felt stuck for years.
Stephanie May Wilson, author, Create a Life You Love; host, the Girls Night podcast
But then you'll find yourself noticing a sunset for the first time in ages, or you'll reconnect with an old friend over coffee, or you'll decide to write the first sentence of that novel you stopped dreaming about but haven't forgotten entirely. And a piece of yourself will feel like it's returning to life. You'll realize then that what you're doing is so much more than unplugging.
