Idols of the Heart: Learning to Long for God Alone written by Elyse Fitzpatrick
240 pages | $13.99 | Paperback | Published: 2002
Summary: Many people desire to live godly lives but feel trapped in habitual sins. This book reveals that idolatry lies at the heart of every besetting sin.
“Demonstrates how ‘false gods’ generate the garden-variety sins of irritability, self-pity, escapism, and anxiety, as well as anger, despair, addictions, and panic. Fitzpatrick shows how Jesus Christ retakes our lives from these idols, setting up his reign over our attention, loyalty, and affections.” – David Powlison

NO FLUFF. NO BRICKS. JUST GOOD NEWS! I believe that God is powerful enough to use all my weakness and sin to make me contagiously grateful for grace.
