Modern Idols: Unmasking Comfort (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798344277745)

Modern Idols: Unmasking Comfort delves into the pervasive influence of comfort as a modern idol in our lives. Drawing from Tim Keller's concept of idolatry, this insightful guide explores how comfort can become an idol when it occupies a place in our hearts that only God should. It contrasts our yearning for comfort with God's original design for humanity, as seen in the Garden of Eden, and His promise of restored comfort in Heaven.

This guide offers a balanced perspective, acknowledging comfort as a good gift from God meant to enrich our lives physically and emotionally. Through biblical references and examples, such as King David's downfall with Bathsheba and the Israelites' struggles in the wilderness, it highlights how the pursuit of comfort can lead us astray if it supersedes our obedience to God.

Readers will gain practical tools to assess whether their desire for comfort has turned into idolatry and learn to realign their lives with God's purpose. "Unmasking Comfort" invites you to experience the true joy and peace that come from prioritizing the Giver over the gift and living in accordance with His will.
