Does this sound familiar?

You sit down to read a passage from Scripture or spend time in prayer, but a buzz from your phone pulls your attention away. Later, as you try to refocus, your mind wanders to work and a task list waiting on your computer. Screens constantly disrupt your time with loved ones, leaving you feeling disconnected and spiritually drained. Another day ends, and once again, your most meaningful spiritual values and goals remain unfulfilled.

What would be possible if you could reclaim your focus and deepen your spiritual life?

What transformations could occur if you could resist distractions and fully engage with God’s calling?

What if you could live free from the constant pull of digital distractions?

In Focused Faith, seasoned tech expert and California Baptist University professor Dr. Brian S. Bovee uncovers the powerful forces of the attention economy that are designed to keep us distracted and disengaged. Drawing from years of research and work experience in the software world, Dr. Bovee explores how our digital habits are not just interrupting our daily tasks but also undermining our spiritual lives.

Don’t let another day slip away. Detox your digital life, reclaim your hijacked attention, and build habits for focus and joy!

Wake-Up Call to a Christ-Centered Life in a Distracted World

The Focused Faith is a book that feels like a much-needed wake-up call. Brian Bovee takes a hard look at how deeply distracted our world has become, revealing how major corporations intentionally design social media to trap our attention, manipulate our thoughts, and profit from our time. This insight alone was eye-opening, but what stood out most was how Bovee connected this issue back to living a Christ-centered life.

One of the most surprising and transformative parts of the book is his take on boredom. I never considered boredom as something positive, but Bovee argues that it’s vital. By resisting the urge to fill every quiet moment with distractions, we open ourselves up to focus on God, meditate on His Word, and realign our priorities with biblical values. That idea hit me hard—after constantly avoiding boredom, I realized how much I’ve been missing out on the clarity and spiritual connection it can bring.

This book has challenged me to rethink how I use technology and provided practical strategies to break free from the distractions engineered to control us. Bovee doesn’t just identify the problem; he offers actionable steps for living with intention and using technology in ways that honor God.

It’s a book I’ll revisit often, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the chaos of modern life or seeking to center your life on God’s Word, The Focused Faith will encourage and inspire you to make meaningful changes.
