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.
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.
十诫第一条便是不可有别的神,可见拜偶像的严重性。或许我们会以为,在今天,再也没有人去拜阿芙洛狄忒,巴力或是亚斯他录了,但事实恰恰相反,这些古代的假神们已经改名换姓,无声无息的潜入了我们今天的生活,使得我们对其崇拜而不自知。性自由,消费主义和成功学的毒药...
评分此书不是开始以为的来介绍世上的很多实在的神的本相,而是说我们生活中常见的,但不被自己注意到已经成为自己的偶像的人事物。书很好读,很容易理解,同时又非常的引人深思。 作者首先揭露了当今世界是“偶像工厂”,也就是“造神工厂”,许许多多的毒瘤以假神的面具出现,被人...
评分这是我第二次读这本书了。第一次读的时候读到,这个是偶像那个也是偶像,道理都对,但因为我无法超越这些偶像,只能感到很沉重。这次重新读,我发现其实这本书的每一章都有一个高潮,这让我非常吃惊。JC取代了这所有大大小小的偶像,让我能单单定睛在祂的身上。我靠着自己无法...
评分3个月前怀着极为诚挚的敬意买下此书,时至今日总算有闲情小结一番。任何书籍只要是认真看进去,懂得如何从中吸取精华摒弃糟粕,也算是因人而异的自我修炼了。由于此书涉及到基督宗教和圣经故事,对此有过了解但终不透彻,所以结合一些引起思索和共鸣的文本片段,权当是读书...
