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.
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.
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...
评分十诫第一条便是不可有别的神,可见拜偶像的严重性。或许我们会以为,在今天,再也没有人去拜阿芙洛狄忒,巴力或是亚斯他录了,但事实恰恰相反,这些古代的假神们已经改名换姓,无声无息的潜入了我们今天的生活,使得我们对其崇拜而不自知。性自由,消费主义和成功学的毒药...
评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...
评分人心是一座偶像制造工厂。——约翰·加尔文 提及“偶像”一词,首先在我们脑海中浮现的是什么? 舞台上的名人,庙堂里的佛像,抑或是圣经中的金牛犊。在正常情况下,基督徒承认独一真神,也绝不会去触犯十诫中的第一、第二条(不可拜耶和华以外的神;不可制造偶像与拜偶像)。...
评分如何找到自己心中的偶像? ①检验你经常所幻想的事物 ②检视你如何面对不蒙应许的祷告和挫败。 ③检视你最无法控制的情绪。 每当处在困苦烦躁受挫时,回到寻找心中的偶像时,似乎一切问题都变得清楚明了。我们常常不了解自己,尤其当自己被血气所充满的时候,觉得自己就是对的...
Well written. Made me realize there are so much more to explore in the Bible.

评分a great read. finished on the train from Warsaw to Krakow...underlined many pars to re-read in future...
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.
