About this listen
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 telling only part of the story.
In this meticulously researched audiobook, 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.

Story
Many Christians say they are traveling into the heavens, but others are not convinced that "spiritual travel" is used by God. The reason could be that no one has provided convincing evidence showing how it is different from astral projection. Far from being restricted to the occult, spiritual travel is actually a tool that is intended to be used by God to accomplish His divine purposes. With his down-to-earth style, Praying Medic provides Bible-based teaching, dozens of testimonies, and simple illustrations that will help even the least experienced person understand spiritual travel.

The end-times have become the king of the sacred cows for the modern Church. Jonathan fearlessly treads where most leaders will not and asks questions that many thirst to ask but can't articulate. Questions such as, what does the Bible really say about: a secret rapture of the church? A future one-world ruler? A future seven-year tribulation? Are we living in the last days?

What does the Bible really say about the end times? There are so many Christians teaching outrageous speculation about end times Bible prophecy these days. It's enough to frustrate the serious Bible student. What if you found out most of it is simply mistaken? What if you found out that the ancient Jewish writers were using Old Testament imagery of the past, not a crystal ball gaze into our modern future?

The scriptures are an essential aspect of the Christian faith. But we have often equated them with the living Word himself, even elevating them above the One to whom they point. In doing so, we have distorted their central message - and our view of God. Tragically, this has caused multitudes of people unnecessary doubt, confusion, and pain in their encounters with the scriptures.

"No matter what happens over the next few hours and days—everyone, remain calm. This is not the end, but only the end of the world as we know it...." Unfortunately, when some people read the phrase “end of the world”, they envision cataclysmic scenarios that involve apocalyptic doom and global destruction. They tend to see all chaos and crisis through this negative lens, and sadly, it destroys their hope for the future. This is not that kind of message!

NOT WHAT I EXPECTED
I have been a Christian for over 21 years and I was underwhelmed by this book. The title of it made me believe it would have a lot of scripture tied to events and other ways to prove that things aren't what we have been told they are. This book is basically 15 chapters of stats of how Christianity has spread throughout the world and how other religions like Muslims are dissolving. He says that less children are dying which could possibly be mass wise, but because of our tainted system people are dying younger than in the past. I do not recommend this book unless you just want to hear how churches are growing all over the world.
