The 40-Day Social Media Fast: Exchange Your Online Distractions for Real-Life Devotion

Are you addicted to your phone? Do you find yourself engaging online but unengaged with the people right in front of you? Do you spend hours scrolling through Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube videos? Have your devices become divisive–dividing you from family and friends and, most importantly, God?

Perhaps you need a screen sabbatical! The 40-Day Social Media Fast will help you unplug from screens in order to plug into your real life–with the help of a very real God.

Imagine forty days not hunched over your phone. Imagine forty days with your eyes lifted up. Imagine forty days with empty hands. Imagine forty days without seeing or hearing all those little notifications. Imagine taking a much-needed break from social media in order to get social with God and your loved ones again. Disconnect to reconnect with the One who matters most.

Wendy Speake, a trained actress and heartfelt Bible teacher, ministers to women’s hearts through storytelling, both on page and stage. She utilizes drama, comedy, poetry, and the study of God’s Word. During her career in Hollywood, on shows such as JAG, Melrose Place, Star Trek Voyager, and Roswell, Wendy found herself longing to tell stories that edify and encourage women! She now writes stories that move readers closer to Jesus.

In their first book, Triggers: Exchanging Parents' Angry Reactions for Gentle Biblical Responses, Wendy and co-author Amber Lia, help parents who struggle with angry, reactionary parenting, by pointing them toward biblical principles. Their Triggers Study Guide takes them deeper in God's Word, where true transformation can be found. Their follow-up book, Parenting Scripts, takes the lessons from Biblical principles to application, where they help parents script actual scripts to speak to their children in the most ordinary and exasperating moments of family life.

Wendy is also co-author of Life Creative: Inspiration for Today's Renaissance Mom, with Kelli Stuart. Life Creative is a missive of encouragement to creative moms, telling the stories of 30 women who are living inspired and inspiring lives in the midst of motherhood.

Wendy Speake blogs about faith and family, motherhood and marriage, at WendySpeake.com. She resides in sunny San Diego with her handsome husband and their three ruddy boys.
