IDOLS OF THE HEART
Elyse Fitzpatrick

Many people desire to live godly lives but feel trapped in habitual sins. This book reveals that at the heart of every besetting sin lies idolatry. With great clarity and intriguing biblical illustrations, Fitzpatrick explains how idols in our hearts compete with our affections for God. This book demonstrates how 'false gods' generate the garden variety sins of irritability, self-pity, escapism, and anxiety, as well as anger, despair, addictions, and panic. It shows how Jesus Christ retakes our lives from these idols, setting up his reign over our attention, loyalty, and affections.
