We Live in a Fallen World is a thoughtful and easy-to-understand guide that explains why life feels so broken sometimes and how Christians can stay grounded in God’s truth despite the chaos around us. Lance Dickson walks through biblical foundations, real-world struggles, and practical tools for navigating negativity—from spiritual confusion to daily injustices—while reminding us that peace is still possible through God’s wisdom and grace.

If you’ve ever looked at the world and thought, “Wow… this is a hot mess,” then trust me—this book hands you the flashlight AND the batteries!

Okay, so We Live in a Fallen World had me nodding, highlighting, and occasionally whispering “ooof, that’s true” in the middle of my living room. Lance Dickson keeps it real—no fluff, no fancy church talk—just straight-up truth about why the world feels wild and how we can walk through it with clarity and courage instead of doom-scrolling ourselves into despair. I loved that it felt like talking with a wise friend who doesn’t just point out the darkness but shows you exactly how to shine anyway. Read it if you’re ready to feel grounded, strengthened, and a little less stressed about the world going off the rails.

We Live in a Fallen World by Lance Dickson is a timely, informative read that is a wonderful reminder of what we face as Christians and why there is such a disparity between the life we expect and the life we experience. Our perspective is assaulted from the distractions of a constant barrage of media, not realizing how draining that can be with the emphasis on negativity. There is much talk of “grounding,” walking barefoot and resetting your inward course of life, and this book is a reminder that spiritually we need to reconnect with God and His word. There is no substitute for study and prayer. The One who created us and designed a plan for us is the shepherd who will see us safely home, beyond this fallen world, and in spite of it.
