Description: Counterfeit Gods by Timothy Keller Harsh economic realities are casting new light on the pursuits of sex, money, and success for happiness. In this inspiring new book, one of the countrys most popular spiritual guides reveals the unvarnished truth about faith, our hearts desires, and the pursuit of happiness--and where all of it can ultimately be found. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet and nationally renowned minister Timothy Keller exposes the error of making good things "ultimate" in this book, and shows readers a new path toward a hope that lasts. Success, true love, and the life youve 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. No wonder we feel lost, alone, disenchanted, and resentful. 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.In Counterfeit Gods, Timothy Keller shows how a proper understanding of the Bible reveals the unvarnished truth about societal ideals and our own hearts. This powerful message cements Kellers reputation as a critical thinker and pastor, and comes at a crucial time—for both the faithful and the skeptical.

Review Praise for Timothy Keller and Counterfeit Gods"Kellers wisdom and biblical understanding, served up in clear, engaging writing, can help both Christians and non-Christians to identify the idols in our own hearts and replace empty promises with hope in Christ." —World magazine"Offers much insight for shepherding local churches. Keller argues that Christians cannot understand themselves or their culture unless they discern the counterfeit gods." —Christianity Today "Tim Keller knows how to tell a Bible story. Like The Prodigal God before it . . . Counterfeit Gods is built around them. And every time I read one of those stories, I feel like I am hearing it for the first time. . . . Counterfeit Gods is easily one of the best books Ive read this year." —Tim Challies"Smashes the arrogant conclusion that violation of the first commandment was merely an ancient problem. Combining biblical theology with experienced surgery on the soul over the years in modern Manhattan . . . Kellers heart diagnostics will leave us neither ignorant nor unmoved." —David B. Garner, associate professor of Systematic Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary Review Quote Praise for Timothy Keller and Counterfeit Gods "Kellers wisdom and biblical understanding, served up in clear, engaging writing, can help both Christians and non-Christians to identify the idols in our own hearts and replace empty promises with hope in Christ." -- World magazine "Offers much insight for shepherding local churches.
