Counterfeit Gods - A Review


Trevin Wax has a good review of Tim Keller's new book, Counterfeit Gods. His conclusion:

Counterfeit Gods is a terrific book that leads the reader to desperation and then to the cross. This book would lead to despair if not for Keller’s constant drawing us back to the gospel – what Christ has accomplished for us idolaters.

The good news is that there is good news. The counterfeit gods are mere parodies of the one true God who has come to conquer our idols and restore us to himself.

I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of this book. I'm about 2/3 done and I have to agree. This is a fantastic book. MUCH needed in our culture where we basically make everything into an idol.
