具体描述
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.

评分文/小瑤 若将人心比作一颗洋葱，这本书会帮你剥开一层一层表皮，看见我们心中隐藏着多少偶像，正左右我们每天的行为、思考、情绪和存在感。 开始读了10页时，我就知道这是一本值得细品慢读的好书，也是我会重读第二遍的书，但我仍迫不及待地用三个晚上读完了它。 一...
评分 评分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...

Worth reading again and again as a reminder
评分“In ancient times, the deities were bloodthirsty and hard to appease. They still are.”
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.
评分Well written. Made me realize there are so much more to explore in the Bible.
评分相当好看
