Idols of the Heart: Learning to Long for God Alone by Elyse M. Fitzpatrick
3.0
3.5 Stars.
Heavy on the references to Puritan writings - not a bad thing, but also made this book a little less of a compelling read due to all of the “so-and-so said…”.
As a pastoral counselor, I will certainly use this book when working with clients who need help recognizing what a false idol actually is. I found it powerful to be reminded that even our good desires that are founded on Godly things can become sinful and made into false idols when their level of importance supersedes God’s Law in our lives.
