Beyond Outrage: Vetting Media to Increase Sensibility and Stability

Michael W. Philliber

4.9/5 (26566 ratings)

Description:Outrage is a high-octane emotion that activates us, gets us to move, vote, purchase, join, pay attention, gab, etc. It is infectious, makes us feel morally superior, and pays out quick dividends. But it also makes us easy marks. Philliber's book looks at how various media venues fuel this high-octane emotion, and then eight practices and perspectives to help us move beyond outrage to become steadier, more stable people."In an age marked by spin, exaggeration, and outright fabrication, Michael Philliber equips Christians to engage media with both discernment and charity. A master class in wisdom." -Dustin Messer, Vicar of All Saints Dallas“In Beyond Outrage Mike Philliber provides a needed correction for an age where an inaccurate report from a favored media outlet can fuel inappropriate - and contagious - outrage. Applying the eight common sense (but not commonly followed) practices he advocates to vet the information we see and read would lower the temperature of the rhetoric that characterizes our increasingly polarized society.” -Dr. Larry Hoop, byFaith News Editor “Everyone recognizes that there is something wrong with our current media situation, both traditional media, such as television and newspapers, as well as social media. Anger and outrage rule the day. But no one seems to have any idea about how to change that. In this book, Philliber offers a clear solution to the problem: Validate before you palpitate, authenticate before you propagate. He clearly explains what that means and gives the reader practice in doing just that. Though written particularly for Christians, the book will help anyone concerned not just with the issue in general but with one’s own response.” -Ben Shaw, Professor of Old Testament at Reformation Bible College.“In Beyond Outrage Mike Philliber has given us a massive application of the 9th commandment! Here his gobs of reading, research, and examples are gathered up, assessed, digested, and packaged in one concise manual that would make a superb elective study for your church group. He doesn’t offer a prescription for all your troubles—only how to keep your head in deceptive and deranged times.” -Dale Ralph Davis, Author, Former Professor of Old Testament at Reformed Theological Seminary, Retired Minister.“Rev. Philliber has provided us with a wise and winsome defense against the avalanche of ‘news’ that slams us daily. In the spirit of the prophet Isaiah’s warning not to call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and not to fear what they fear, this book urges us to honor the Lord of hosts and to find hope in his sanctuary.” -Rev. Marq Toombs Associate Pastor, Redeemer Rockwall, Rockwall, Texas.“There is no doubt that we are in an age where the challenge of responding to the issues of the day with Biblical clarity and charity is, to say the least, overwhelming. The Biblical principal and practical insights coming from Michael Philliber’s volume is beyond valuable. The content and the presentation are both informative and captivating. Thanking the Lord that He has allowed His wisdom to not only be displayed in Michael’s ministry but now conveyed in this crucial volume. Get it – Read it – Use it!” - Harry L Reeder, III, Sr. Pastor, Briarwood Presbyterian ChurchWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
