TIMOTHY KELER opened Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan in 1989, and now ministers to more than 9,000 regular Sunday attendees, plus the members of fifty "church plants" nationwide. He is also the author of The Prodigal God and the New York Times bestseller The Reason for God.
The New York Times bestselling author of The Reason for God and The Prodigal God and a nationally renowned minister, Timothy Keller exposes the error of making good things "ultimate" in his latest 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. 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 lesser 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.
The Bible tells us that the human heart is an "idol- factory," taking good things and making them into idols that drive us. In Counterfeit Gods, Keller applies his trademark approach to show us how a proper understanding of the Bible reveals the unvarnished truth about societal ideals and our own hearts. This powerful message will cement Keller's reputation as a critical thinker and pastor, and comes at a crucial time—for both the faithful and the skeptical.

提姆說,隻有我們把眼光定睛在神的身上的時候,纔能得到真正的滿足與喜樂。否則就如雅各一樣,到瞭早晨看到的一定是利亞,絕不是拉結,心裏充滿瞭失望。所以正如劉易斯在盼望一文中所說的,我們應該把人生的焦點轉嚮上帝,如果發現自己有一種渴望,是世界上任何經驗都不能滿足...
評分 評分文/小瑤 若將人心比作一顆洋蔥,這本書會幫你剝開一層一層錶皮,看見我們心中隱藏著多少偶像,正左右我們每天的行為、思考、情緒和存在感。 開始讀瞭10頁時,我就知道這是一本值得細品慢讀的好書,也是我會重讀第二遍的書,但我仍迫不及待地用三個晚上讀完瞭它。 一...
評分在《現代世界之道》一書中,神學傢紀剋之說,在現今這個時代,人們最不可缺少的兩個職業就是經理和治療師。前者生産銷售各種産品來滿足人們的需要,後者則負責治療人們的感覺,給人帶來“康樂的體驗”。 對今天的很多基督徒來說,最不可缺少的也是這兩者。甚至在我們的宗教生...
評分此書不是開始以為的來介紹世上的很多實在的神的本相,而是說我們生活中常見的,但不被自己注意到已經成為自己的偶像的人事物。書很好讀,很容易理解,同時又非常的引人深思。 作者首先揭露瞭當今世界是“偶像工廠”,也就是“造神工廠”,許許多多的毒瘤以假神的麵具齣現,被人...

A magnificent, magisterial, and masterly book. Tim Keller aims to unveil the whole panoply of counterfeit gods that's dominating both individuals and societies. It reveals that idolatry can be internal as well as external; there are deeper idols hidden beneath those surface idols. The former ones are perhaps more poisonous and harder to root out.

評分Worth reading again and again as a reminder
評分「偶像,就是你生命中終極的存在,你像愛慕伴侶一般愛慕ta、信靠救主一般信靠ta、服侍主人一般服侍ta。」每一章均以「當代高舉的偶像—相關的聖經故事—福音的答案」進行三段式剖析,屬靈的洞見超然且深刻。一星是扣在經文引用上的稍欠嚴謹,以及作者行文間偶然露齣的、在某些問題上的左派立場。
評分17年給好友送瞭一本書,18年他送我一本,等我19年告訴他,自己一翻都沒有翻。 可惜不遂他的意思,這幾天做咖啡館等人的時候,隨手看瞭幾章,有幾點倒是挺讓自己思考的。 1.剋爾凱郭爾說,faith is irrational,你不能用絕對的理性來定義faith。 2.build ur confidence in marriage in the other side. woman fell into an illusion that she need to find a dependable and valuable partner.actually what she find is a broken ppl
