The Curse of Time

What if time is not a gift-but a consequence? Before the Fall, there was no death, no decay, no ticking clock-only God's eternal now. But something shattered. When Lucifer rebelled and Adam and Eve disobeyed, humanity didn't just fall from grace-we fell into time. In The Curse of Time: Time Began When Eternity Broke, Christian A. Dickinson invites readers into a thought-provoking journey that challenges our deepest assumptions about the nature of time itself. Is time truly a neutral backdrop to our lives-or is it the result of a cosmic fracture? Blending rich biblical insight, early church theology, and personal experience, Dickinson explores how chronos (sequential, earthly time) emerged from rebellion, separation, and death. He contrasts this with kairos-God's timeless, holy interruptions that still reach into our moments today. Drawing on Scripture, voices like Augustine and C.S. Lewis, and his own encounters with eternity, Dickinson reveals time as more than a measurement-it's a spiritual battleground between what is broken and what is eternal. This book is not just about time. It's about the story we're living in, the choices we make inside of time, and the deeper reality that invites us beyond it. For anyone longing to understand the rhythms of heaven in a world of ticking clocks, The Curse of Time is a powerful, poetic, and challenging call to live in light of eternity.
