A Stable and Sure Foundation

Weston A. Knudtson Author Interview

A Hypnotizing World: Discovering an Unshakable Hope in a Confusing Culture is a thought-provoking book that explores the questions plaguing humanity and provides answers and hope through a Christian perspective. Why was this an important book for you to write?

This book was important for me to write because I was called to do it. It was an act of obedience to God. I believe God called me to write it because of the times we are living in. People are searching for a stable and sure foundation, something that doesn’t change with the political climate of our time. People are searching for truth. This book points them to the source of truth–God.

How much research did you undertake for this book, and how much time did it take to put it all together?

This was a fifteen year long project. I spent much time studying the Bible and history, theology, apologetics, psychology, philosophy, and many other subjects. When I make statements and provide explanations about different subjects, I want to have a good understanding of the topic before sharing it with others. And I want the facts. Research is not a quick Google search. It takes time to filter through the opinions and get to the facts of the matter. So, research was a huge part of writing this book.

What were some goals you set for yourself as a writer in this book?

I set many goals over the course of fifteen years, but I was humbled by the fact that everything happens in God’s timing. The final and published version of this book is the eighth time I completely rewrote my book. This was from the Lord’s leading. God wasn’t simply wanting me to quickly write a book for the people who would read it; He was working on transforming my heart and mind in the process. With that said, I made goals to finish my manuscript in a year, but this happened several times.

What is one thing that you hope readers take away from A Hypnotizing World?

The main thing I want readers to take away is the importance of asking the hard and big life questions for the purpose of searching for the truth, even if the truth isn’t what you want to hear. Don’t let fear, feelings, or the culture’s social status get in the way of your pursuit of the truth. Don’t settle for opinion or simply follow the majority. Get to the facts. Demand evidence. Be objective and unbiased.
