A child’s imagination is sacred. But today, it’s under attack, not by violence or poverty, but by glowing screens and seductive algorithms. While most parents worry about safety online, author Denise White is asking a deeper question:
“What happens to the soul of a child when Artificial Intelligence becomes their best friend?”
This haunting question forms the heart of her powerful new book, Guarding the Child’s Imagination—a deeply personal, biblically-rooted response to a growing global issue.
After more than 20 years in the classroom, White noticed a disturbing trend: fewer children knew how to pretend. Few could tell stories without referencing a screen. Some could identify popular YouTubers—but couldn’t draw a tree from memory.
“Imagination is not a luxury—it’s the bridge to identity, empathy, and spiritual sensitivity,” White says. “When we replace it with digital automation, we don’t just lose play—we lose the human soul.”
Her book shares real-life examples from classrooms and homes, backed by scripture and spiritual insight. She explores:
-
The slow erosion of childlike wonder in the AI age
-
How screen addiction is stealing emotional intelligence
-
Why parents must become gatekeepers of imagination
-
Tools to reignite creativity at home and in church
-
How to raise children grounded in truth, not trends
White’s message isn’t to reject technology—but to reclaim control. She offers a clear, hopeful guide for families who want to protect their children from becoming passive consumers in a programmed world.
“We can’t afford to let AI shape our children more than we do,” White warns. “We must stand between the algorithm and the soul.”

In Guarding the Child’s Imagination, Denise White calls on parents, teachers, faith leaders, and concerned citizens to rise—not in fear, but in faith. The world is changing fast, but it is not too late to reclaim the sacred space of a child’s heart and mind.
If you’ve ever looked at your child and wondered what happened to their spark… If you’ve ever felt that something sacred is being traded for something synthetic… This book is your roadmap back to wonder.
