Article: Attention Span of Children Prevents Reading

by

I doubt too many people will be surprised by the article linked to below. Children of the entertainment age are no longer reading because of short attention spans and a lack of reading in the home.

Website: Electric Literature

by

What is the site ‘Electric Literature’ all about? The best answer to that question would be to go to the about page and find out for yourself there. The reason for the site’s existence is expressed on that page and yeah, it’s all about literature in a changing age.

There is an online magazine called ‘Recommended Reading,’ which you can subscribe to via the linked site. You can also get copies of the Electric Literature publications also, via the online store.

This Little Church Went to Market – The Church in the Age of Entertainment, by Gary Gilley

by

I have decided to start reading this book again. I have mentioned ‘This Little Church Went to Market’ in an earlier post in At the BookShelf and this is linked to below:

https://atthebookshelf.wordpress.com/2010/10/30/this-little-church-went-to-market-by-gary-gilley/

Back in October 2010 when I started to read this book I put it aside for some reason – I may have gone on holiday and forgot about it on my return. Anyhow, I decided to take it up again and then to read the two other books that come after it as per my original post. So that is my plan over the next few weeks and months.

This Little Church Went to Market, by Gary Gilley, was first published in 2002 by Xulon Press (ISBN: 1 5916 0049 9). The edition I have is that published as a paperback by Evangelical Press in 2010 (ISBN: 0-85234-596-8 & ISBN-13 978-085234-596-2). The book was revised and updated in 2006. My edition has 142 pages, so it isn’t a large book by any means.

So about to start reading the book – feel free to read it also and join in the discussion on it.
