Suggestion from the Pastor
Counterfeit Gods
by Tim Keller
Publisher’s Description: Sex, money, power, and love. So many of us have placed our faith in these glittering idols—hoping they hold the key to happiness and satisfaction, but knowing in our hearts they will only let us down. With the global economy in shambles, and the idols that we all as a society have worshiped for years crashing down around us, it is no wonder so many of us feel lost, alone, disenchanted, and resentful. But the truth is that these idols were lesser gods that could never give us true fulfillment. 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, Keller shows how the Bible reveals the unvarnished truth about our faith and our heart’s desires.”
Pastor’s Recommendation: I highly recommend Counterfeit Gods to our congregation. It is a quick read that serves as both a challenge to us as Christians and as a resource to give to non-Christian friends that are looking for something more concrete than the passing idols of our fallen world.
