Summary of Timothy Keller's Counterfeit Gods

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The pursuit of happiness is what most people spend their lives doing. But getting your heart’s deepest desires might be the worst thing that ever happens to you. Under the pressure of fame and celebrity, your character flaws and miseries become twice as bad as they were before.

#2 The Bible is filled with stories about people who have fallen victim to the desire to achieve their heart’s deepest desire. Every counterfeit god a heart can choose – love, money, success, or power – has a biblical narrative that explains how that particular kind of idolatry works out in our lives.

#3 The Bible says that God called Abraham to leave everything he knew and loved to go to a land that he would show him. But it took decades of waiting for Abraham and his wife, Sarah, to have a son. When they did, they were overjoyed, but they still didn’t fully trust God.

#4 The birth of Isaac did not solve all of Abraham’s problems. Many couples who long for a child believe that having a child will solve all their problems, but that is rarely the case.
