Escapism

When We Run from Reality

‎English | XXX pages | ISBN 123 456 789

What happens when reality becomes too much to bear? When the pull of fantasy worlds, endless scrolling, or binge-watching feels stronger than facing another difficult day?

We follow six compelling characters whose stories reveal the hidden psychology behind our modern urge to flee. From Sarah, who discovers Korean dramas after losing her job, to Mark, whose gaming achievements matter more than his grades, these narratives expose the very human need for refuge.

But is all escapism harmful? Through a unique blend of psychological insight and Christian wisdom, this book explores when our desire to escape reflects something deeper—perhaps even sacred. Drawing from both Scripture and contemporary research, it examines how our longing for “another world” might echo our deepest spiritual needs.

Neither condemning nor celebrating escapism, this honest exploration offers a fresh perspective on one of our most universal experiences. Through story and reflection, it asks not whether we should escape, but how we can live fully in the tension between our earthly reality and our heavenly longings.

For anyone who has ever lost themselves in a book, a screen, or a daydream, this work provides both understanding and hope.
