Vic Zarley continues to add titles at an amazing rate. His latest is look at the history or our recent culture and is titled Shall I Pray or Watch TV? He says:
Shall I Pray or Watch TV? looks at the history of TV and its effect on our culture all from a Christian worldview perspective. My hope is that this book will create interest, not so much for the purpose of changing television, but more in changing our hearts. When our hearts are changed, the outer world begins to reflect that change in the choices we all make, regarding what we choose to watch on TV (or whatever else we choose to do). Our lives can become true and living examples of the teachings of Christ or they can become mere reflections of the world and its carnal ways. For those of us sincerely into God’s truth and Jesus’ Way, we would never want our minds and hearts to be dwelling on untruths, so often portrayed on TV. We would simply not be tempted, IF our hearts were truly changed by Christ, first. That truth is the foundation of this book. We must get right and honest with God first. We must take the beam out of our own eyes first…Truthfully, if we didn’t clamor for more, more, more of the anti-manna found on the tube, we would not be served the indelicacies that TV offers.

I want to acknowledge a wonderful array of unknown musical artists that have allowed me to grace this audio book with their work. Greg Kitchel’s song “Closer to God, Farther from TV” is the theme song of this book. The first seven episodes have surprisingly good songs about TV which I culled from Mevio’s Music Alley. First you’ll hear a snippet of the theme song, an intro, then approximately 1/2 of a particular song, then the reading of the book. At the end, after my outro, you’ll hear the rest of the song I introduced earlier. I truly want you to enjoy this book.
