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

Harsh economic realities are casting new light on the pursuits of sex, money, and success for happiness. In this inspiring new book, one of the country's most popular spiritual guides reveals the unvarnished truth about faith, our hearts' desires, and the pursuit of happiness--and where all of it can ultimately be found.
New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet and nationally renowned minister Timothy Keller exposes the error of making good things "ultimate" in this 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. No wonder we feel lost, alone, disenchanted, and resentful. 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 shows how a proper understanding of the Bible reveals the unvarnished truth about societal ideals and our own hearts. This powerful message cements Keller's reputation as a critical thinker and pastor, and comes at a crucial time--for both the faithful and the skeptical.
