Axel Volk | Daniel Verlag | 110 pages | € 5.95
Anyone familiar with Axel Volk's books knows that current issues affecting the spirit of the times and our children are particularly close to his heart. Axel Volk is the headmaster of a free Christian denominational school, a Bible teacher, and the father of four. In his well-known book, "What Do Our Children Learn?", he has already addressed the educational goals of the German school system and the enormous dangers it poses to our children.
With his book "offline," he addresses another highly topical issue of our time – digital media. In the 13 chapters, which originated from presentations he gave in churches and youth groups, Axel Volk aims to bring the spiritual dimension of media literacy closer to the reader. He does this in a very engaging way, using clear, concise, and youth-friendly language.
This book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking guidance and sound information on the complex topic of new media and digital technology. It is incredibly important to understand what young people are confronted with today, what concerns them, and what drives them. For this reason, I highly recommend this book to anyone who works with children and young people – whether with their own children or in youth work.
