Counterfeit Gods: When the Empty Promises of Love, Money and Power Let You Down

The issue of idolatry has been with the human race for thousands of years; the subtle temptation is always to take what is good and turn it into the ultimate good, elevating it above all other things in the search for security and meaning. In this timely and challenging book, New York pastor Timothy Keller uses classic Bible stories to look at the issue of idolatry – from the worship of actual idols in the Old Testament to the idolatry of money by the rich young ruler when he was challenged by Jesus to give up all his wealth.
