Textul de pe ultima copertă
A pygmy visiting a jungle shrine, a young executive using her overextended Visa to purchase an expensive business suit, and a preacher craving compliments about his Sunday morning sermon...At first glance, it seems that there couldn't be three more different people. But an invisible thread connects these three in their hunt for fulfillment. Yet are they successfully finding what will ultimately satisfy?
In You Are the Treasure That I Seek, author Greg Dutcher exposes the myth that idols are only wood or stone statues that belong to primitive, ancient cultures. Idolatry is alive and well in the twenty-first century, and even though most of us are not bowing down to gods crafted by human hands, we are all tempted to find satisfaction in something rather than Someone.
"What if we could isolate this problem of idolatry, like a disease, and contain it before it destroys us? The stakes are very high. The battle against idolatry is a fight for our lives, the lives of others, and, most importantly, the reputation of Christ," Dutcher writes.
With biblical insight, contemporary illustrations, and even humor, pastor Dutcher will help you identify twenty-first century idolatry and give you the weapon -- the beautiful, timeless gospel answer -- that will help you defeat this subtle enemy and discover the treasure that you seek: the incomparable beauty of Christ.
"Greg Dutcher's book serves as a set of 'night-vision goggles' to help us root insidious idols out of our hearts. Then he goes further and restores and renews us in full-fledged adoration of Jesus." -- Kris Lundgaard, author of The Enemy Within
"Greg Dutcher...dares to tell us the bad news about ourselves in order that we can hear, clear and fresh, the good news in spite of ourselves." -- Mark Buchanan, author of The Rest of God: Restoring Your Soul by Restoring Sabbath
"This is a great book (and a needed one), and Greg's writing is crisp and fun." -- Dr. Steve Brown, nationally syndicated talk-show host, Key Life Network
