gods at war

            Everyone knows or knows of the Ten Commandments.  The first two commandments in particular, you know...the ones about not having any other gods ahead of God or making any graven images, seem to be the ones that most people believe are two of the easiest to follow.  It turns out that not only are they two of the hardest ones to follow now, but they were also two of the hardest to follow back in the times of the Old Testament as well.  gods at war by Kyle Idleman breaks down common idols into simple categories and helps the reader realize how idle they truly are.
            I work in a profession where a college education and additional licensing are required; I take pride in what I do.  This book challenged me in how I view what I do for a living to ensure that it is not an idol or false god in my life.  I may be in a profession that brings status, but it is only because of God's favor that I'm there in the first place.
            Kyle Idleman's gods at war is a powerful expository book that brings a whole new perspective on the concept of the false god and how easily it can make a subtle part in a person's life.  I recommend this book to anyone looking for a challenge to personal growth in his or her Walk.

I received my copy of the book for free from the publisher in exchange for reviewing it.  I was not obligated to post a positive review; my opinions are my own.
