The Circuit Breaker
100 Days of Biblical Protection for a Digitally Overloaded Life
by David Bishop
A 100-day Bible study that pairs scripture with the spiritual challenges of modern technology—written by a 40-year automation engineer who speaks both languages fluently.
The Story
We carry more computing power in our pockets than the Apollo missions used to reach the moon. Yet for all its promise, unmanaged technology is quietly reshaping our attention, our identity, our relationships, our grasp of truth, our mental health, and our spiritual vitality. The Circuit Breaker is a 100-day Bible study that pairs one scripture per day with a focused exploration of how that passage speaks directly to the technological challenges of modern life. Each study is designed to take approximately 30 minutes—enough time for meaningful engagement without becoming another burden on an already overscheduled life. What makes this book unique is the author's voice: David Bishop is not a Luddite pastor wagging a finger at technology. He is a 40-year automation engineer who has spent his career building the very systems that now dominate modern life. When he speaks about technology's grip on the human heart, he speaks with the credibility of an insider and the conviction of a believer.
