Publisher's summary

Do you feel discouraged, even defeated, in your battle against habitual sin? Are you dismayed or surprised by the situations that bring out your fear, anger, or distress?

Elyse Fitzpatrick delves into the heart of the problem: deep down, we're all idol worshippers who put our loves, desires, and expectations in God's place - and then suffer the consequences of our misplaced affections. Yet God loves his people and can use even our messy lives and struggles for his glory.

Fitzpatrick shows us how to better search and know our hearts, long for our gracious Savior, and resist and crush our false gods. Included are questions for further thought.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Worth the time!

The prayer points and questions after every chapter added to the learning process. Highly recommended.

WOW!

I've been a Christian a long time and never read an exposition of idolatry like this. I'm actually somewhat stunned this level of depth on this topic isn't more commonly taught in basic discipleship classes?? It strikes me now as being fundamental and core to the Christian walk, which only makes sense since it is the 1st commandment...duh! Never put this kind of mi I'm going pursue walking through this with others in a small group.

Excellent overview of idols

Great book, though certainly not groundbreaking in any way. Sometimes it's good to get back to basics, though.

Idolatry Revealed

Praise the Lord for an overall excellent message that the Holy Spirit revealed to me about idols in my own heart. Idols can take the form of people, things, careers which unknowingly take the place of God in our lives. Bless you Ms. Fitzpatrick.

I would recommend “Idols of the Heart” to the follower of Jesus Christ who has been walking with the Lord for quite sometime and to the new believer in Christ, and anyone who wants a better understanding of idolatry.
