Counterfeit Gods

The Empty Promises of Money, Sex, and Power, and the Only Hope that Matters

by Timothy Keller · 2009 · 240 pages

About This Book

Keller argues that the human heart is an 'idol-factory,' naturally inclined to turn good things like career, love, and family into ultimate values. By exploring biblical stories, he reveals how these 'counterfeit gods' create a cycle of disappointment and provides a path toward lasting fulfillment.
