"Idol" isn't a word that most people use, unless immediately following the word "American." Timothy Keller defines idol as "anything more important to you than God, anything that absorbs your heart and imagination more than God, anything you seek to give you what only God can give." We've all fallen for empty promises of the counterfeit gods of money, sex and power. Through thought-provoking story-telling (focusing on Bible characters like Abraham & Issac, Jacob & Esau, Jonah, and Zacchaeus), Keller helps the reader re-examine what it means to trust God.
