Escapism

When We Run from Reality

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"I just wanted to relax after work..." That's how many stories of entertainment dependency begin. One episode becomes a series marathon. A quick phone check becomes hours of mindless scrolling. An innocent game becomes all-night sessions. When did recreation become escape? When did entertainment start controlling us instead of serving us? Combining psychological research with biblical wisdom, Escapism reveals why our spiritual longings drive us toward artificial substitutes that promise satisfaction but deliver emptiness. Through compelling stories and practical insights, discover how the same desires that fuel addiction can become motivations for authentic spiritual growth. This isn't about guilt or giving up all entertainment-it's about freedom, authenticity, and learning to engage with the reality God has placed us in. For anyone seeking to break free from digital dependency and live more meaningfully.

Autorenporträt

Elsa T. Heaven is the pen name of a writer whose literary evolution reflects a profound personal transformation. Her early works, inspired by childhood memories of her grandmother's frightening tales told by candlelight during long winter evenings, explored the dark sides of human nature in the genre of gothic parables. Years of studying the psychological mechanisms of moral decay and academic training in folklore and comparative mythology shaped her early understanding of that fragile moment when a person crosses a line they believed uncrossable. However, a personal crisis and a long journey of self-discovery led to a radical rethinking of her creative approach. In her debut novel, she moved away from exploring darkness toward examining light, while retaining a deep understanding of human vulnerabilities. Writing under a pseudonym to maintain anonymity, Heaven now views perceived "flaws" not as weaknesses to hide, but as integral parts of the creative process that allow light to penetrate through the cracks. Her work is based on the belief that true wholeness comes from courageously accepting all aspects of oneself-both the luminous and the shadowed.
