Product Description
While living and working in Kenya, East Africa in the early nineteen nineties, the author decided to devote some time to thinking about the attributes and characteristics of God and how they relate to the subject of man's free will. It soon became apparent to him that far too many Christians were trying to relate to God as a man, albeit a man of larger proportions. As he continued to think about the various ideas and concepts about God he had heard among his fellow Christians, he came to understand that many-and he does not exclude himself from these-frequently constructed and bowed down to a god (notice the use of the little "g" here) that was not the I AM THAT I AM revealed in Scripture. He observed that this was being done by gospel preachers as well as, otherwise, knowledgeable Christians. These seemed to be unaware that they were regularly engaged in idolatry. It wasn't the pagan idolatry that one reads about in the Old and New Testaments, but it was idolatry nevertheless. The book represents a study consisting of (1) a tribute to the one true God, (2) an examination of the psychological nature of idolatry, and (3) a critique of some of the idols we moderns have constructed for ourselves.
