Does this sound familiar?
You sit down to read a passage from Scripture or spend time in prayer, but a buzz from your phone pulls your attention away. Later, as you try to refocus, your mind wanders to work and a task list waiting on your computer. Screens constantly disrupt your time with loved ones, leaving you feeling disconnected and spiritually drained. Another day ends, and once again, your most meaningful spiritual values and goals remain unfulfilled.
What would be possible if you could reclaim your focus and deepen your spiritual life?
What transformations could occur if you could resist distractions and fully engage with God’s calling?
What if you could live free from the constant pull of digital distractions?
In The Focused Faith, seasoned tech expert and California Baptist University professor Dr. Brian S. Bovee uncovers the powerful forces of the attention economy that are designed to keep us distracted and disengaged. Drawing from years of research and work experience in the software world, Dr. Bovee explores how our digital habits are not just interrupting our daily tasks but also undermining our spiritual lives.
Don’t let another day slip away. Detox your digital life, reclaim your hijacked attention, and build habits for focus and joy!
Bovee quickly moves from summarizing what we know experientially to giving us what we need desperately—practical, step-by-step, tested ways to resist the pull of technological tyranny so we can live abundantly.

The Focused Faith...shows the ever enlarging and encroaching influence that technology is placing on everyday life. The focus of attention is rightly presented and personally practiced within a "balanced view" of the various and numerous technologies in vogue within our current culture and society.

ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Brian!
I’ve been working in the tech world for over two decades, focusing on how digital tools engage and influence users. I’m currently a full-time professor at California Baptist University, where I get to combine my love for teaching with cutting-edge research. I’ve got a master’s and a doctorate in information systems, which basically means I spend a lot of time thinking about how technology shapes our lives (and then finding ways to make it better!).
I’ve been married since 1995, and my wife and I live in beautiful Southern California. When I’m not teaching, writing, or diving into research, you’ll probably find me outdoors doing something active. Whether it’s hiking, running, or just spending time with family, I love staying connected to nature and recharging in the fresh air.
Thanks for stopping by, and I’m excited to connect with you!
