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.

评分我只被一句话震撼到,就下定决心要看这本书,那就是“人心是一个偶像制造工厂。 这个世界上的任何事物都无法真正填补我们的心,我非常认同作者所言的关于人生无止境的幻灭及失望。于是人心为自己雕刻一些偶像,期许从这些偶像身上得到满足或者保障,但是却没有一把钥匙...
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...
