review 1: Idol lies led me down a path I hadn't looked at before and gave me a new perspective to weigh my decisions. Like many have said, I don't have statues that I worship or a fancy car in the garage too good to let anyone else use. But, the idea that my heart attitudes have some idols lurking within me was a jolt. I wanted first of all to get rid of them and move on! I have found it is not as easy as that and appreciate the teaching that came through Dee and the videos. This is an area of sin that I always want to be on the watch for.A powerful message. Be sure not to miss the accompanying videos on YouTube (Look up the author, Dee Brestin). They really helped me to zero in on this message.
review 2: "Any time our deepest desire is for something other than God b... moreecause we think that will satisfy or rescue us, a dangerous 'soul idol' is forming.""As Joni Eareckson Tada, who has lived most of her life in a wheelchair, observes, 'God's purpose is not to make us healthy, wealthy, or even happy (though it pleases Him to do so), but to make us holy...God cares most - not about making us comfortable - but about teaching us to hate our sins, grow up spiritually, and love Him.'"Good book about the things that often become idols in our lives - those things that we love more than God, that if lost, we would feel that life was no longer worth living. We need to recognize these idols in our lives and repent of them, knowing that ultimately they will not satisfy as only God can. less
