{"product_id":"insidious-social-media-myron-a-raney-9798218784249","title":"Insidious Social Media: The Battle for a Generation's Souls","description":"In today's digital world, teens are more connected than ever - and yet more anxious, isolated, and spiritually vulnerable than any generation before them. Social media, though not evil in itself, has become a powerful tool of distraction and destruction.Social media is shaping a generation-but not always for the better. Behind the endless scroll lies a world of hidden dangers: addiction, anxiety, deviant behavior, fractured relationships, and spiritual drift. For too many teens, the glow of the screen has replaced the light of Christ, and families are left struggling to restore connection and truth in their homes.In \u003cem\u003eInsidious Social Media: The Battle for a Generation's Souls\u003c\/em\u003e, Dr. Myron A. Raney, Ph.D.-Interdisciplinary Researcher, Pastoral Counselor, Certified Mental Health Advocate, Board-Certified Christian Mental Health Coach, and respected member of the American Association of Christian Counselors-delivers a bold, hope-filled response to one of the greatest challenges of our time. With more than thirty years of experience bridging ministry and community, Dr. Raney brings a rare combination of academic rigor, cultural insight, and pastoral care to a prolific message of hope and deliverance.This book is more than a warning; it is a guide to freedom. Drawing from Scripture, real-life teen stories, biblical exegesis, and research-based statistics, Dr. Raney reveals how social media fuels sin, damages body, soul, and spirit, and wages spiritual warfare on a generation. Yet, he also proclaims the unshakable truth: Christ has already won the victory.Key features include: \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003ecomprehensive Digital Addiction Assessment\u003c\/strong\u003e with scoring and reflection tools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003e40-Day Social Media Freedom Plan\u003c\/strong\u003e designed as a spiritual detox to reset the heart and mind.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall group participant and leader's guides\u003c\/strong\u003e, offering churches and families ready-to-use resources for discipleship.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical teaching on setting boundaries, confession and accountability, renewing the mind, and rebuilding authentic relationships.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003eAt its heart, this book calls today's teens to live as a \u003cstrong\u003echosen generation and royal priesthood\u003c\/strong\u003e, walking in the light of Christ, while equipping parents and church leaders to shepherd them with wisdom and grace.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Myron A.
