TIMOTHY KELER opened Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan in 1989, and now ministers to more than 9,000 regular Sunday attendees, plus the members of fifty "church plants" nationwide. He is also the author of The Prodigal God and the New York Times bestseller The Reason for God.
The New York Times bestselling author of The Reason for God and The Prodigal God and a nationally renowned minister, Timothy Keller exposes the error of making good things "ultimate" in his latest book, and shows readers a new path toward a hope that lasts.
Success, true love, and the life you've always wanted. Many of us placed our faith in these things, believing they held the key to happiness, but with a sneaking suspicion they might not deliver. The recent economic meltdown has cast a harsh new light on these pursuits. In a matter of months, fortunes, marriages, careers, and a secure retirement have disappeared for millions of people. No wonder so many of us feel lost, alone, disenchanted, and resentful. But the truth is that we made lesser gods of these good things —gods that can't give us what we really need. There is only one God who can wholly satisfy our cravings— and now is the perfect time to meet him again, or for the first time.
The Bible tells us that the human heart is an "idol- factory," taking good things and making them into idols that drive us. In Counterfeit Gods, Keller applies his trademark approach to show us how a proper understanding of the Bible reveals the unvarnished truth about societal ideals and our own hearts. This powerful message will cement Keller's reputation as a critical thinker and pastor, and comes at a crucial time—for both the faithful and the skeptical.
在《现代世界之道》一书中,神学家纪克之说,在现今这个时代,人们最不可缺少的两个职业就是经理和治疗师。前者生产销售各种产品来满足人们的需要,后者则负责治疗人们的感觉,给人带来“康乐的体验”。 对今天的很多基督徒来说,最不可缺少的也是这两者。甚至在我们的宗教生...
评分昨天有一位姊妹拿了我手上的《诸神的面具》样书随便翻了一下,然后,很郑重地表示她很喜欢这本书,并且正确地引用引言中的一句话来指出,任何东西都可能成为偶像,而且所有东西都已经成为偶像了。我们是在教会的一位长老结婚周年庆的烧烤聚餐中谈论这本书,当时,我们也在兴高...
评分第一次读Tim Keller的书,真的超级棒。言简意赅深入浅出却入木三分一针见血。无论你是不是信主,都当读一读这本书。在这个不信神的年代,却不知道我们所有人都被各种假神所俘虏捆绑。名誉,权力,成功,金钱,工作,婚姻,家庭,甚至孩子。我们以为我们为之奋斗的目标可以给我...
评分如何找到自己心中的偶像? ①检验你经常所幻想的事物 ②检视你如何面对不蒙应许的祷告和挫败。 ③检视你最无法控制的情绪。 每当处在困苦烦躁受挫时,回到寻找心中的偶像时,似乎一切问题都变得清楚明了。我们常常不了解自己,尤其当自己被血气所充满的时候,觉得自己就是对的...
评分TK在11页解释亚伯拉罕献祭以撒显明上帝的神圣和他的恩典. 第一假设亚伯拉罕知道自己欠债于主,献祭自己孩子不是疯狂之举;第二假设亚伯拉罕知道主是恩赐的,会怜悯他不然献祭以撒时他会犹豫绝望. TK在21页提到关于雅戈娶妻之新观点,雅各因父亲偏爱以扫缘故从小未得父爱,又离...
“In ancient times, the deities were bloodthirsty and hard to appease. They still are.”
评分17年给好友送了一本书,18年他送我一本,等我19年告诉他,自己一翻都没有翻。 可惜不遂他的意思,这几天做咖啡馆等人的时候,随手看了几章,有几点倒是挺让自己思考的。 1.克尔凯郭尔说,faith is irrational,你不能用绝对的理性来定义faith。 2.build ur confidence in marriage in the other side. woman fell into an illusion that she need to find a dependable and valuable partner.actually what she find is a broken ppl
评分Well written and it is not lecturing the readers. But I am still not quite empathetic with it, probably because of my own personality and background. Things like these take time.
评分容易阅读
评分A magnificent, magisterial, and masterly book. Tim Keller aims to unveil the whole panoply of counterfeit gods that's dominating both individuals and societies. It reveals that idolatry can be internal as well as external; there are deeper idols hidden beneath those surface idols. The former ones are perhaps more poisonous and harder to root out.
