Why is it that so many of us settle for a less-than-satisfying Christian life? We suffer the symptoms—spiritual dryness, dissatisfaction, and unanswered prayers—of a yet-unidentified problem that creates an obstacle between God and us. We seem unable to connect the dots between our symptoms and the problem causing them: God is no longer first in our hearts. Pastor Dennis Newkirk tells the story of how God showed their church what their problem was—God was no longer first in their hearts. Newkirk brings experience and a pastor’s heart as he teaches us about the dangers of modern-day idolatry. But he also offers hope by showing us how to deal with our idols and the reward of doing so. The four-step pattern God uses to call hearts back to him isn’t some cookie-cutter approach, but seeing the steps spelled out can help Christians recognize how God might be applying them in his or her life. Examining our own lives before God and admitting that our hearts have strayed isn’t easy, and it is most certainly humbling. But that’s what God wants—a humbled, repentant person standing before Him and willing to be used in service for Him. For the sincere Christian who wants an answer to the question “Is there more to the Christian life?” No gods but God will provide an answer.

Do you struggle because of situations or people that weigh you down? How can you get help? This book can help you gain victory over the stressful circumstances in your life.

As a result, God can enable you overcome the many false gods that creep into your life from your culture. The study has discussion questions for groups and practical steps you can follow to help you run on your journey with Jesus toward every believer's goal, final perfection after death.Notice the following review by Rev. Jack Stulp, retired pastor and home-missions administrator: "Having read 'Overcome Modern Idols, ' I appreciate that it's not merely a collection of the author's opinions. It is full of Scripture that is quoted and is expounded. Author Leiter is impressed with our Lord's wisdom and seeks to share it."This book does not take the common approach of naming things that people accept as idols, like money. Reflecting much thinking and meditation, this book gets us to think of ways that people come up with distorted and wrong ideas of what God is like and then worship these distorted concepts, which are false gods. I found it helpful and am pleased to recommend this book to others."The following review is from Judy Dunnagan, a Moody Publishers editor: "We can tell that this message is very near and dear to your heart.

The human fascination with images, and the idolatry or idolization of images as the source of desire, passion and terror, is treated in this book. The first part enters more deeply into religious idolatry, past and present. It treats the biblical, the early-Jewish as well as the Christian views on monotheism and the prohibition against images, as source of authentic humanism or as source of intolerance and violence. In the second part, the focus shifts onto a number of contemporary, profane idols and gods: the nationalist fascination for one's own land and people, and the fear or hate towards foreigners; the rampant preoccupation with (genetic) health, in a context of body culture and aestheticization, of which the postmodern sport idols have become the great 'icons'; the current image- and screen-culture and all forms of audiovisual exorcisms; and last but not least the ongoing process of economization and globalization, with an expanding culture of 'branding' logos.

Excerpt from Modern Idols: Studies in Biography and Criticism An idol is an object set up to be worshipped. The aim of this book is to examine, not to destroy or mutilate the idols under review. The sketches are not given to detail, but it is believed that certain just discriminations of char acter and genius are here made that will not be found elsewhere. And in this belief the work is modestly committed to the candid judgment of the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Idol worship may seem like just a curious anachronism to our modern sensibilities. The Old Testament is replete with God's commands against it and Israel's temptation to it, but the average reader of today may feel quite insulated from the whole matter. Idolatry is dismissed as ancient naiveté, the impulse of the unlearned, and a superstition that the enlightened man has outgrown. In the following pages, Michael Bunker strikes at the heart of such comfortable assumptions by demonstrating that idolatry is still as alive and malignant as ever, the difference between the ancient world and ours being only that idolatry has become more subtle and idolaters more sophisticated. Instead of having outgrown idolatry, men have nurtured and perfected it. No longer do we craft our idols out of wood and stone, leaving their obvious lifelessness to unsettle our consciences; now we give our idols the breath of life by enshrining them in unbiblical ideas, selfish values and worldly assumptions. Idolatry has always been a matter of the heart; the external manifestations merely change with the times and fall in and out of fashion. The purpose of this present volume is to expose and tear down the subtle idols of the heart that have been enshrined all around us and within us.

Not illustrated. 1886 edition. Excerpt: ... IV. ROBERT BURNS. Listen! I will sing thee a song of light, Distill'd from burning tears, --A song that shall nevermore take its flight From out the ceaseless years. Robert Burns was a new world's new creation. A poet so distinctively national in his individuality, and yet so absolutely cosmopolitan in his type of thought, never before touched this world. The Christian civilization of the past had come to incarnate world-granite in John Knox and his ScotchEnglish Protestantism, producing Cromwell and his king-slayers in Old England, and our own tea-spillers and witch-burners in New England: an earnest, fanatical race. But the world is not all conscience and justice and severity, any more than it is all mugwump, dandy, dallying, and clown. By natural attrition and reaction there had to come something solid and grand and beautiful in human character, human faith, and human thought, but less straitened and strait-laced. Nature was in her birth-throes for a new type of man, and Robert Burns was the first-born of this agony. Then- Written for the 127th Anniversary of his Birth, Jan. 1886. Goethe, and Carlyle, and Hugo, and Emerson; till at last the heavens and the earth are full ot them. Do you wonder he set the world on fire with his star-clashings and died of his own inward flame? Place your own ear closer to the heart of nature, and learn how, in all ages and nations, it throbs and thumps till it breaks in such momentous hours. No merely professional man, no mere worldling or Bohemian, can understand Robert Burns, or say one just word about him. He was not of these, but above them. He knew more theology than the parsons; he could love like a libertine and rant like a Jacobin, but by instinct he was conservative and a gentleman. Above all, .
