Facing the Truth About Our Deepest Desires
“My name is Dee Brestin, and I am an idolater.” Best-selling author and popular Bible teacher Dee Brestin doesn’t mince words in her latest book for women, Idol Lies: Facing the Truth About Our Deepest Desires (Worthy Publishing, September 11, 2012). Most Christians associate “idolatry” with dusty Old Testament stories and classic Charlton Heston movies; however, Dee Brestin believes that modern Christian women have erected idols such as control, materialism, sex, food and the approval fo others to replace God.
in Idol Lies, this veteran author explores the hidden idols that destroy a woman’s love for God and eventually will destroy her relationships. Brestin explains her definition of idolatry: “Any time our deepest desire is for something other than God because we think that will satisfy or rescue us, a dangerous ‘soul idol’ is forming. We may idolize the approval of people, our own comfort, or maintaining control. All of these things can become ‘idol lies’ - things we value more than God.”
