Our society has its ‘gods’—things like money and possessions, career, television, sport, beauty and family. These modern deities may be perfectly good things in themselves, but they assume the proportions of ‘gods’ by our devotion to them. In so doing, they actually rob us of real life.

In this very readable book, Dr Kim Hawtrey presents a penetrating critique of the bankruptcy of our modern ‘idols’, and points to the only One who deserves our unswerving devotion: the incomparable Jesus Christ.

For those who have not considered the claims of Jesus, The True and Living God is a powerful challenge. For those who call themselves Christians, the book is an equally stretching read. Dr Hawtrey is unafraid to ask the hard questions about our compromises, and our mixed up priorities. The answers he provides promise real life indeed.
