"We think that idols are bad things, but that is almost never the case. The greater the good, the more likely we are to expect that it can satisfy our deepest needs and hopes. Anything can serve as a counterfeit god, especially the very best things in life." ~Tim Keller
In addition to my perennial favorite, "Journey to the Cross", I've added two other thoughtprovoking books during this Lenten season.
On my Kindle, I'm slowing chewing through Keller's "Counterfeit Gods". This book is shining a bright light on my heart.
I'm listening to "Undone" by Philip Yancey and John Donne. Written during COVID, Yancey's reflects on Donne's devotionals. Even though Donne lived hundreds of years ago, his experiences with personal sickness and with ministering to his congregation during the plague bring suffering under the microscope and are refreshingly practical today.
