After writing a Bible study by the same name about "confronting our modern day idols," Kelly Minter takes a slightly different and personal tack talking about how lesser gods creep into our lives and take away from the one true God.

I really enjoyed the Bible study a couple of years ago and was looking for review. I was a little surprised that the chapters didn't match up with the original study, so I abandoned looking over my own notes just to read a chapter at a time. It was a pretty good book, solid in application but a bit light. Because it was often a personal "my idols" approach, I was a little confused at times by Minter's vague examples: "I struggled with this," but no details, where for my literal brain it's much better for me if I'm given concrete examples without the personal touch. If memory serves, I recommend the study over the book. ( )
