Ever since television first illuminated living rooms across America, it has made us laugh and cry, shout with anger and with joy, and challenged and changed us with the entertainment and information it brought us. Slowly, as its technologies have developed over the years, so has our dependence on it. Today many of us would reluctantly admit that we don't know what we'd do without our TVs. Bob DeMoss, a culture and media expert, describes the possibilities. Combining humor, time-tested advice from 18 years of studying the medium, and feedback from more than 50 families who agreed to turn off their TVs for a month, he holds out hope for regaining control of the television in your home. Thought-provoking daily readings that address our relationship with TV from a biblical perspective will motivate, instruct, and sustain your family if you take the great escape challenge. DeMoss doesn't call for a permanent boycott; instead, he invites you and your family to find a balance in your viewing and rediscover the riches real life has to offer. All parents worry about pop culture's influence on their kids. Bob DeMoss offers a revolutionary, empowering, commonsense approach to bringing that influence under control. --Michael Medved, Film Critic & Nationally Syndicated Radio Host ... a message for all Americans. --George Voinovich, United States Senator, Ohio ... DeMoss... doesn't just make a persuasive argument for going without TV for a month; he takes you on a delightful literary romp through the lives and stories of those who accepted the challenge. I recommend you read this book and do likewise. --Chuck Colson, Author &Culture Critic It is with a great deal of conviction that I wholeheartedly endorse TV: The Great Escape. At last a book for people who care about the influence of TV on themselves and on their children. For those of us who wish to control TV rather than be controlled by it, this is must reading. --Dr. Tony Evans, Senior Pastor, Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship - Dallas, TX
