Synopsis
What guiding choices shape your life—and what do they cost you?
This book argues that many modern pursuits are masks for one deeper danger: worship of the self. It surveys a lineup of so‑called gods and shows how wealth, fame, travel, ease, intellect, and even drinking can derail faith and duty if they come before God.
Two clear aims drive the discussion. First, it helps readers identify common idols that can quietly steer behavior. Second, it offers a hopeful contrast: conversion means putting the kingdom of God first and letting His righteousness guide every decision.- Recognize the nine false gods described, from wealth and fame to travel and drink, and see how they appeal to self-will.
- Understand how pride in intellect or ease can override spiritual commitments and community life.
- Grasp the author’s definition of conversion and the idea that true power comes from aligning life with God.
Ideal for readers seeking a thoughtful examination of temptation, faith, and daily choices.
