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.
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...
評分人心是一座偶像制造工厂。——约翰·加尔文 提及“偶像”一词,首先在我们脑海中浮现的是什么? 舞台上的名人,庙堂里的佛像,抑或是圣经中的金牛犊。在正常情况下,基督徒承认独一真神,也绝不会去触犯十诫中的第一、第二条(不可拜耶和华以外的神;不可制造偶像与拜偶像)。...
評分第一次读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...
評分提姆说,只有我们把眼光定睛在神的身上的时候,才能得到真正的满足与喜乐。否则就如雅各一样,到了早晨看到的一定是利亚,绝不是拉结,心里充满了失望。所以正如刘易斯在盼望一文中所说的,我们应该把人生的焦点转向上帝,如果发现自己有一种渴望,是世界上任何经验都不能满足...
Idolatry and mental error go hand in hand
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.

评分Idolatry and mental error go hand in hand
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.
