New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet and nationally renowned minister Timothy Keller exposes the error of making good things "ultimate" in this 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. No wonder we feel lost, alone, disenchanted, and resentful. 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. In Counterfeit Gods, Timothy Keller shows how a proper understanding of the Bible reveals the unvarnished truth about societal ideals and our own hearts. This powerful message cements Keller's reputation as a critical thinker and pastor, and comes at a crucial time--for both the faithful and the skeptical.… (more)

正如尼采在《偶像的黄昏》(Twilight of the Idols)里所说,“在这世界上的偶像比真实的事物还多”,因为人心本是制造偶像的工厂。许多人把信心寄托在成功、金钱、爱情和所谓的美好人生之,相信这些就是通往终极快乐的钥匙。这些无形却闪耀的偶像在人们寻求意义、保障、安全和满足的路上,占据了人心中极重的位置,人们依赖和信靠它们。

作者在书中指出,人们错把这些美好事物当作上帝,然而事实上它们并不能解决真正的需要。所有我们曾经想要的美好之物都有可能成为偶像,最后变为手中的尘土,因为它们原本就是尘土。

本书将带读者认清诸神的面具背后的虚假,分辨假神明带来的影响,也指出获得真正的自由的唯一路径,引领人回到那能满足人心渴望的真实面前。

Superb. Essential reading for every Christian. Articulate, persuasive, easy to understand, and eye-opening for people like me, who has been a Christian my entire life.

This one along with his other, The Prodigal God, is like a one-two punch right to the heart. ( )

I picked this up because of Matt Chandler's excellent messages on the "source idols," in which he cites this book. I didn't realize how much Chandler has developed and deepened the ideas here; I assumed I'd be reading the concepts Chandler has preached on and (I hoped) even going deeper with them. Not so.

Though not as deep as I'd hoped, the book's content is solid and challenging. What lowered its star rating is the overexplaining and repetition. Keller frequently quotes the Bible and then retells the story we just read. "What Jacob means by this is ..." "What he's really saying here is ..." "In other words ..." etc. It's irritating at best, rather condescending at worst, and prevented me from engaging with the book. ( )

Once again Tim Keller communicates a simple and yet hard-hittingly profound message that we all need to hear over and over. Keller examines the idol-factories that our hearts are and draws our hearts to really grasp what the gospel truly is. Everyone should read this one! ( )

This book changed my life in how Keller will not let anyone pretend to have an excuse for idolatry. We are all idolaters, even though we do not necessarily worship physical statues. ( )
