Counterfeit Gods: The Empty Promises of Money, Sex, and Power, and the Only Hope That Matters

Success, money, 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. The recent economic meltdown has cast a harsh new light on these pursuits, In a matter of months, fortunes, marriages, careers, and a secure retirement have disappeared for millions of people. No wonder so many of us feel lost, alone, disenchanted, and resentful. But the truth is that we made counterfeit gods of these good things - gods that can't give us what we really need. 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 show how the Bible reveals the unvarnished truth about our faith and our hearts' desires.
