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.
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...
評分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...
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...
評分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...
Well written. Made me realize there are so much more to explore in the Bible.
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Well written. Made me realize there are so much more to explore in the Bible.
评分必讀
评分Worth reading again and again as a reminder
