Every week a terrorist attack, riot, or political scandal makes the headlines—and we feel the world around us shaking again. We struggle to separate truth from biased statements and hope from naïveté. We wonder how we got here and where these uncertain days will take us. One of the world’s top investigative reporters, John S. Dickerson, addresses this post-truth, post-Christian society in Hope of Nations. Hope of Nations shows us how and why the world is changing, where those changes will lead, and what it looks like to live like Christ in today’s society. With fascinating historical and political background, Dickerson helps us “Times of great social upheaval are times of great spiritual opportunity,” writes Dickerson. “You can live the adventure of this era with great purpose. You can know with confidence that the Creator of the universe appointed you to bring light and life to this moment in human history.” Among the youngest award-winning journalists and a seminary-trained pastor, Dickerson brings his reporting skills, generational perspective, and biblical insights to this groundbreaking book.

A Clarion Call to the Church in a Post-Truth World
As Christians, it is a challenge to understand our world and what is going on. Prize-winning journalist and pastor, John S. Dickerson has written a wake-up call and helped every reader gain a better understanding of what is going on in our culture. The book is written with detailed research and yet straightforward language. As Dickerson writes in the introduction, “This book explains—definitively, simply, and accurately—just what is happening in our world, our nation, and our society. This book enables you to see where these events are leading and why they are happening. It combines the research of a devoted journalist with the Bible teaching and guidance of a pastor and bestselling author.” (Page 11 to 12)
In an unusual book technique, throughout the text different sentences are highlighted in bold for emphasis—much more than subheads—these bold sentences guide the reader to the main points in each section I’ve not seen this technique used but appreciated the effort and help for the reader.
I found HOPE OF NATIONS an eye-opening reading experience. As Dickerson writes toward the end of the book, “Every day we wake up on earth, e can know this: We are still invincible. We are invincible to fulfill God’s purpose for our lives. And so if there’s a fire in your neighborhood and if God is not done with you, then your house will still be standing when all the other ones are burned down. If a terrorist walks into a restaurant where you’re eating dinner and if God is not done with you on earth, then you will be alive at the end of it.” (Page 254)
I highly recommend HOPE OF NATIONS.

We in the church are concerned about the changes we see happening around us as an older generation fades away, and the younger generations seem less and less involved or interested in Christianity as we know it. Some studies show that the number of Christians in the U.S. and the West is dropping. Others suggest that the percentages are staying the same. Still others say yes, we’re seeing a decline in numbers, but the people who are leaving churches were never really engaged anyway, so the people who are staying are truly committed Christians.
But all too often the ‘truly committed’ who are staying have reached a point in their lives where they are physically unable to do much of the work that needs to be done, and since they are living on fixed incomes, the financial support isn’t always there either.
So what does the future of the church look like? We’ve gone through the age of enlightenment, post-modernity, post-truth, and even post-Christian. Declining numbers, declining percentages, increases in other faith groups that just a couple of generations ago were just a fraction of a percent as far as our population goes. And the many members of the youngest generations are not at all interested in spending an hour in church every Sunday, even if all they have to do is sit there and be entertained. Forget about evangelism, discipleship, missions, and the work of the church.
Add in the attacks against the church. Make them pay taxes. Don’t allow the pastor to use his pulpit to speak about anything political, and apparently we’re not teaching history because so many young people think socialism would be a good alternative to the society we now have. They forget, Hitler, Lenin, Mussolini, and a host of others whose socialistic societies failed, and led to not-so-minor skirmishes.
John S. Dickerson, in his book Hope of Nations: Standing Strong in a Post-Truth, Post-Christian World (Zondervan, 2018) points out so many things that are rising up against the church. And we need to be aware of them; however, I felt that at times there was a little too much scare tactics involved in his writing.
Even before the Introduction, there is a quote from A.W. Tozer: “A scared world needs a fearless church.” I was hoping for more about the fearless church and less of the scared world. I live in that scared world, and I want my church to fearless in the face of the world.
Obviously the Hope of Nations is Jesus, and in the last section of the book, he does point that out. There are things that churches can do, ways that churches can act and react in the face of fear. And I especially like the ‘manifestos’ found on pages 278 and 279.
Unfortunately the ‘scared world’ reporting almost caused me to put the book down before I got to the part about the ‘fearless church’, so I can only rate this book a ‘C’

In Hope of Nations, author John S. Dickerson, prize-winning investigative reporter, a frequent commentator, and pastor, offers a greater understanding of how and why the world is changing. In explaining the mindset of many of today's social justice warriors, Millennials in particular, Dickerson shows us where we are and where America appears to be heading. This will help many Christians know how to live like Christ in today’s society.
Political scandals, terrorist attacks, riots, and the bullying of those whom you disagree with politically are in the headlines daily. Before we can regroup from one disaster or area of division, another occurs. Each side seems to be completely blind to any point of view other than their own and truth is obscured, sometimes willfully, by the very ones whom we have always relied upon for an honest report of events. In these uncertain days, which often feel like the final days referred to in Scripture, we struggle to know which direction we will be heading in next.
I have always considered myself to be a person willing to listen to other viewpoints, but calm discussions are becoming rare with the preeminence of keyboard warriors and nonstop coverage of world events via the internet. Dickerson's explanation of the mindset of younger, more liberal people did help me see things from their view a bit more clearly...even if I do still disagree. I have compared America to pre-World War 2 Germany many times, and the author and I are in agreement there. Since our perspectives are similar, many of the things he said made a lot of sense to me.
Calling this the Post-Truth Generation was clarifying, albeit sad, but did demonstrate that some changes have to be made within myself since what I see so clearly is missed by others younger than me. Overall I did really like the book and mentioned it several times on social media as I read. However, it also seemed to get a bit repetitive. I really liked it and do recommend it, but there were times I would have to lay it aside when things would run together a bit.
I received a copy of this book from Handlebar Marketing for review purposes. All opinions are my own and I was not required to give a positive review.

Our American life is changing, Dickerson writes. The peace, tranquility, and culture our parents knew is crumbling. His goal in this book is to explain what is happening in the world and why, and help Christians understand how to live now. He believes Christians are the greatest hope for the nations.
We might think that the greatest threat to our nation is from the outside. “In fact,” Dickerson says, “the most dangerous threat to the West is its own self-induced unraveling as it embraces the Post-Truth ideology and completes the final turn away from Christian influence.” (125) He explains the changes in ideologies, such as toward socialism and to post-truth thinking. He includes and explains five forces he feels are the major transformation factors. He looks at current trends and suggests what the future will probably be like.
The situation for Western civilization today is serious, a victim of its own self-destruction. I like how Dickerson reminds readers of the historical advances Christian faith has brought to nations. People today forget all that and criticize Christian faith instead. He calls this “enjoying the fruits while neglecting the roots.” (161)
But Dickerson does not leave us hopeless. He suggests nine manifestos in response to the trends he identified. They are actions Christians can do today to prepare themselves and their families for the future. The suggestions are powerful and reflect living scriptural principles and trusting in Christ as ultimate victor.
Dickerson is a bit verbose and repetitive. I felt I had to wade through his telling me what he was going to say, saying it, then reminding me what he said. The book could have been more concise and much shorter.
I recommend this book. It is a good exploration of the current state of western civilization with great suggestions for Christians in living out their faith for today and the future.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through Handlebar. My comments are an independent and honest review.

Written by a journalist turned pastor, this book tells of the current trends of our culture as it moves past being a culture of absolute truth to moral subjectivity.
As a Millenial I can see the trends in my believing and non-believing peers, and agree that our culture is becoming one of post-truth. Mr. Dickerson's journalistic talents shine through in his excellent research and gathering of statistics, as he tells of the current trends of the culture. I found this book to be very interesting, it is very timely and current. I have read similar books written twenty-ish years ago that warn of our culture being right where it is now, so it was nice to read a more current book on the subject. I liked how Mr. Dickerson is constantly pointing readers back to the fact that Jesus Christ and His people will prevail, because it can be quite depressing to read all the stories and statistics compiled in this book.
Earthly powers are shifting, and cultures are being upended, but God wins. Mr. Dickerson uses examples from history and modern culture to show that nothing is new under the sun, and we must be ready to stand firm in our faith when the trials and persecution come.
While it is engaging and well written, at times I felt bogged down by all the statistics and pieces on current culture that I felt were pretty obvious, and could have been more concise. But I liked how the book focuses on what we can do to be prepared, stand firm, and how we can control what our response as followers of Christ will be to this changing world. A relevant and timely read for Christians living in Western culture today.

In Hope of Nations, John S. Dickerson is a research journalist and a pastor. He has written this book to explore what’s going on in the world and what is our hope for the future. He shared that the Post-Truth movement is rising and ideologies are changing and the millennials will be more than the baby boomers. In the next election, they will have the most votes for the first time ever. He also shared that in thirty he believes China and India will be above the United States economies. He stated that that Christianity will be the second fastest ideology in the next thirty years. He opens in the book by sharing a story about The Folsom Street Fair in California. This event shows openly bondage sex that include public masturbation along with whips and chains. There is even minors that attend the event. There was even a two year old seen at the event and the parents said it was their decision to allow their child to attend the event. He also explored the Five Forces and nine Christian trends that is coming our way and how we can still survive in the future.
I would recommend this awesome book on the future to anyone who is a Christian and they want to be prepared for where the world is heading and what we can do about it. I was shocked to learn about this openly sexual acts festival. I haven’t ever heard about such an event and I was surprised to read about it. It’s heartbreaking to see how some parents aren’t even concerned about the message it’s sending to their children. I think one of the most important Christian trends was the first one about being rooted and grounded in Christian scriptures and this will help us to thrive in the mist of the chaos and confusion. This book shows that this book is important and we need to be a witness for Christ now more than ever. If you’re looking a new book on finding hope for the future, then read this book!

John S. Dickerson is a seminary-trained pastor, an award-winning journalist. In Hope of Nations, he looks at the current state of the world today, and give five reasons for the moral and ethical decline that is accelerating our nation toward a post-christian worldview so quickly that it's frightening.
One of the things that resonated with me was the idea that our young people are being educated into a belief that rather than criticize someone else's ideology or worldview, we must offer it full acceptance, regardless of how damaging or destructive it truly is. According to the prevalent thought processes of today, all ideas are "more or less equal and harmless." Case and point is the idea that socialism is a good thing, and should not only be tolerated but promoted. Dickerson points out that the Nazi regime was able to rise to power because of the young people who bought into the same ideology.
There is good news though. In a world where Christianity is constantly under fire...we know that God is still on His throne, and that in the end, He will prevail. It's what is between now and the end that should have us on our knees.
The book at times is a bit "heavy," and there were places where I found myself having to reread what I had just read in order to fully understand it. Overall, though, it presents as a well-researched look into the issues facing our society today, and how we as Christians can stand strong in the fight and look to our Creator as the ultimate truth and justice in our world.

Ever since creation, the world has been evolving, changing, becoming less than what God envisioned. But now, today, global change means the moral, social and political impact to American millennials. And it's not just affecting millennials.
More and more young Americans are drawn to socialism. Without proper context, our children are becoming infatuated with a political mindset that will ultimately lead to our nation's downfall if they succeed in changing the political climate.
How are Christians supposed to react to what is sure to come? John S. Dickerson, prize-winning research journalist and Seminary-trained pastor, shares with us five major forces driving global change and gives us nine ways to respond biblically to trends that are shaping the world in his book, "Hope of Nations".
At times, Dickerson bogs readers down with information and data. However, when he shifts to what we can do and the nine manifestos we can embrace, he gives us hope in the midst of a vastly changing world that wants little to do with truth and nothing to do with God.

John's words in Hope of Nations resound with much of what Christian culture is feeling these days. We know that we are living in a Post-Truth society full of anger towards Christianity. Some of it is warranted because people claiming to be Christian committed terrible atrocities against other human beings. Some of it is because people reject God and turn to the lustful inclinations of the flesh. What we see in this book is the history of how nations that had been blessed by God spiraled down and became evil nations. You can see the histories of Hitler, Stalin, etc. took the reigns and how they turned and entire people to commit terrible atrocities by slowly corrupting their ideas.
Honestly. the first half of the book feels like a punch in the gut. You can easily see how society is turning against us and seemingly wants to punish us. John explains that we are going to have to find new ways to sustain ourselves and our institutions. The enemy is at the gate.
The second half of the book is greatly encouraging. It spells out all of ways we can respond to what history teaches us might happen. We must cling to truth. We must know truth. We are going to need to be creative and support each other in every way possible. We can diligently search scripture for answers. God has given us a strategy: "Live good lives among pagans." Dignify people. Be an ambassador to foreign tribes. Listen. Love your neighbor.
I highly recommend it. This book was graciously given by Zondervan Publishers for review.

Spells out ideological changes slowly taking place in Western countries preparing them/us up for democracy being replaced - eventually. To accomplish this, citizens are reindoctrinated to believe their feelings are more important than objective facts. This is referred to as the "post-truth" culture and J. Dickerson makes a clear argument* for how dangerous this is, and what happened to other countries that went the same direction we in USA and Europe are going today.

Keeping our collective Christian heads held high as the culture progresses into the post-truth muck is made understandable in Dickerson's work. It ought to be required reading for most thinking (and praying) Christians. He emphasizes that with Jesus at our side we can face troubles with love and grace.
I really liked the description he uses of the current state of Christianity being somewhat like having a seat of the table in one of the salons on the Titanic late in the evening of that April night night thinking all is well, when in reality we are doomed if we think all is well.

I thought this book was excellent. Enlightening review of relevant surveys, data and ideologies that might indicate where we are headed as a nation/world, and excellent discussion concerning what mindset and action we should take as Christians in the post-truth ideology that is upon us.
December 31, 2020
Good premise. Awful presentation. Redundant. Built on author's own ideology. I'd love to hear an interview by this guy. He is smart and well researched but the book fell flat. It's also a turnoff for me personally to defend economic structures (capitalism) as "Christian values".
August 19, 2021
A light read. Good looking into the post-truth world and the response Christians should consider in personal and social life. In parts a little more USA church/Christian focused, though applicable to most Christians.
December 31, 2021
This is A must read for Christians today. Dickerson is a wonderful researcher and has information and applications that everyone should be aware of. The final chapters give us wonderful hope and encouragement how we should live our lives in this new nation.

Very eye-opening book!

Dickerson is clearly passionate about the potential threats to Christians and makes a good case. It is a tad repetitious, but the second half shines.

There is a generation. There is a remnant who has the hope of nations. Impactful, prophetic and relevant.
