Description
The rise of the computer in the last few years has changed the world. It has also changed how we sin. And sadly, Christians seem to be as vulnerable as everyone else. The Bible says nothing about hacking or surfing the net or downloading copyrighted material. How can we walk as Jesus did when we sit in front of a computer screen?
Norman Fraser shows that the Ten Commandments are as relevant to Silicon Valley as they were on the slopes of Mount Sinai, and show us how to behave in virtual reality as well as in the flesh. They tell us how we may love the Lord our God, with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our strength.

Sin is sin, the same as it always has been, but technology in general and more recently computers and the internet have made it easier. - Takes each of the ten commandments in turn, draws a parallel with a "virtual" sin, expands on it from the rest of Scripture, and suggests a way to live out what we believe. - Takes a well-rounded approach to right and wrong, and avoids legalism - Each chapter starts with a commandment and ends with a "net" commandment and a prayer. Preface Introduction 1. God first 2. God only 3. God's name 4. Sacred to God 5. The generation gap 6. Death to hacking 7. The sex and violence chapter 8. Give and take 9. Reputations 10.
