When we hear the word 'idol' we tend to think of football players or pop stars. We may even remember that some people's religion meant worshipping idols: little or large statues that represented a god.

But what has this to do with us today?

Julian Hardyman is increasingly convinced that idolatry – putting anything else in the place that is rightfully God's – explains us and our problems:

Why we get so angry about traffic jams. What drives us to work so hard our marriage hits the rocks. What lies behind that compulsion to look at pornography.

He has also found that God is engaged in a war to win back our hearts.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    When we talk about idolatry it’s easy to recall Old Testament stories of golden cows or think of our celebrity culture that idolises footballers and pop stars. We may think that we are too clever or too advanced to be trapped in idolatry but in this fresh take on the subject Julian Hardyman reminds us that we are caught in idolatry every time that we put anything else in the place that is rightfully God’s. Hardyman is convinced that idolatry is the explanation for many of our personal and relational problems. He helps the reader to recognise the things that have become idols in their lives, and put the things they love back in the right order, with God as first love and highest priority.
