No Other gods: Confronting Our Modern Day Idols
Ebook
Our lives revolve around our deepest needs and greatest treasures. Relationships. Family. Financial security. Private hopes and dreams.
Most of our desires are healthy. Yet these longings can become passions we not only pursue, but worship. And while idol worship may seem like ancient history, we still face the modern-day equivalent [version], as natural needs slowly consume our hearts and minds, competing with God’s rightful place in our lives.
No Other Gods offers a revealing look at the heart of a woman. Author Kelly Minter explores what happens when good desires become false gods, robbing us of an intimate relationship with our heavenly father.
So discover the freedom in surrender. The healing in worship. And the joy found in exchanging everyday gods for the one true God.

“So many of us claim and worship God, but we’ve come to accept a lifestyle that depends upon most everything else. And whatever we depend upon we will most definitely serve.” (source)
“It’s the times when God seems distant that are precisely what make our functional gods so appealing, because for the most part we can get to them. They’re available.” (source)
