title: Counterfeit Gods: The Empty Promises of Money, Sex, and Power, and the Only Hope that Matters
author:  Timothy Keller 
description: <b>Praise for Timothy Keller and <i>Counterfeit Gods</i></b><br /><br />"Keller's wisdom and biblical understanding, served up in clear, engaging writing, can help both Christians and non-Christians to identify the idols in our own hearts and replace empty promises with hope in Christ." <i>World</i> magazine<br /><br />"Offers much insight for shepherding local churches. Keller argues that Christians cannot understand themselves or their culture unless they discern the counterfeit gods." <i>Christianity Today<br /><br /></i>"Tim Keller knows how to tell a Bible story. Like <i>The Prodigal God</i> before it . . . <i>Counterfeit Gods</i> is built around them. And every time I read one of those stories, I feel like I am hearing it for the first time. . . . <i>Counterfeit Gods</i> is easily one of the best books I've read this year." Tim Challies<br /><br />"Smashes the arrogant conclusion that violation of the first commandment was merely an ancient problem. Combining biblical theology with experienced surgery on the soul over the years in modern Manhattan . . . Keller's heart diagnostics will leave us neither ignorant nor unmoved." David B. Garner, associate professor of Systematic Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary<br /><br /><br /><i>From the Trade Paperback edition.</i>
