In a world of hype, we may buy into the idea that if we hold the right beliefs and do the right things, we’ll be healthier and wealthier as well as wiser. So what happens when we become ill, or depressed, or bankrupt? Did we do something wrong? Has God abandoned us?
Michael Horton’s little book, “Too Good To Be True: Finding Hope In a World of Hype” reminds us that when we expect only blessings in life, we’re locked in a vicious cycle of desire and disillusionment. “We need to find our solace in the real God, not an imaginary-friend version that we have created out of the trends and catch-phrases of the world around us.”
This is a powerful little book that clears away the chatter of our culture, and replaces it with nourishing truth!
