The media is lying to you about the supposed horrible state of the world, and we swallow it—hook, line, and sinker.

While the news focuses on homicides, brutal terrorist acts, and warnings about global diseases, they are only telling part of the story.

In this meticulously researched book, J.D. King gathers stories, statistics, and relevant data to prove his point that the world is improving.

Written to encourage you during these tumultuous times, Why You’ve Been Duped into Believing that the World Is Getting Worse presents a hopeful view of what’s happening around the globe.

J.D. King has written an encouraging, engaging, and perspective changing book about how the Kingdom of God is advancing in the earth! Faith and Hope are its clear message. He opens a refreshing window of fact-based reality that confronts unbelief, ignorance, and indifference. Why You Have Been Duped into Believing that the World is Getting Worse has stirred me to fresh faith and courage. I agree with the author, Jesus is winning in the nations!

Jesus commanded us not to worry about tomorrow, yet I meet so many Christians who are terrified about where our world is headed. Paul said to “be joyful always” and “never stop giving thanks,” yet I continually see a misunderstanding of the world’s condition rob Christians of their joy, while the only future thing they’re thankful for is that one day Jesus will rescue them out of it. How sad this is when we realize it’s completely unnecessary! Contrary to what the ratings-driven media will tell you (remember, fear sells), J.D. King lays out a brilliant, scholarly case for the gradual improvement of our world (and most importantly, the Gospel-mechanism behind it all). You’re living at the greatest time in history, and those who embrace the worry-free joy and gratitude available in Christ can be part of this world-improving family called ‘the Church.’ The Media may have duped us, but this book will set the record straight. Read it, and start changing the world.

This book is epic in its scope— yet easy to read in its style. J.D. King has basically done the boring stuff for you - he has researched and gathered facts and information from a variety of sources and presented it in an exciting and engrossing read… This book provides concrete evidence that the world is progressing, that life is improving, that problems are declining, and Christianity is growing. In pointing all this out, it is preparing us for the continued advancement of God’s great plan.

Although much of Christendom believes that things are growing worse, J.D. King contends for the opposite viewpoint in his eye-opening and faith-building new book, Why You’ve Been Duped into Believing that the World is Getting Worse. Moving beyond sensationalism and fear, this book provides solid statistical evidence from respected researchers and scholars. While many believe that things are moving in the wrong direction, King reveals that life on earth is actually getting better. Now we can all breathe a little easier.
