Are screens holding you or your family back from all you were created to be?
![Book cover of [Un]Intentional: How Screens Secretly Shape Your Desires, and How You Can Break Free](https://i0.wp.com/thatdougsmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/unintentional_cover.png?resize=606%2C908&ssl=1)
I know what that’s like. I knew if I didn’t figure out how to overcome what screens were pulling me into, I’d miss out on all God was calling me to do.
That’s when I learned the five Biblical practices I share in [Un]Intentional: How Screens Secretly Shape Your Desires, and How You Can Break Free.
As a dad of four daughters, a software developer, and a lifelong Bible student, I felt compelled to share what I had learned — knowing that we’re all being impacted by screens today.

A Few Endorsements
“No topic is more critical in our screen-saturated culture. For any parent, for any grandparent, for any individual living with the constant distractions of this reality in their daily lives, this book comes as a beautifully-crafted and grace-filled invitation to manage the noise, to prioritize well, and to pay attention to the things in life that are significantly more important than one’s Instagram account.
Thank you, Doug, for sounding a clarion call to intentional living.”
