Many people desire to live godly lives but feel trapped in
habitual sins. This book reveals that at the heart of every
besetting sin lies idolatry.
“With great clarity and intriguing biblical illustrations, Fitzpatrick
explains how idols in our hearts compete with our affections for
God. In a gentle way, she tells you how by God’s grace to turn
from your idols to a whole-hearted love for God.
I highly recommend this book.”
—Martha Peace
“Demonstrates how ‘false gods’ generate the garden-variety sins
of irritability, self-pity, escapism, and anxiety, as well as anger,
despair, addictions, and panic. Fitzpatrick shows how Jesus
Christ retakes our lives from these idols, setting up his reign over
our attention, loyalty, and affections.”
—David Powlison
“If you are struggling with desires, addictions, and harmful
behaviors that seem too strong to overcome, perhaps you are worshipping
an idol of the heart. Fitzpatrick explains what those idols
might be and how to deal with them in a biblical way. Idols of the
Heart is not just another self-help manual.”
