Deep down, every woman longs for security, happiness, and love. Yet most women settle for weak substitutes like control, materialism, sex, and food. In Idol Lies, popular Bible teacher Dee Brestin explores the hidden idols that destroy a woman's heart. Using biblical examples as well as her own personal experiences and those of other women, she helps readers move past their cravings to understand-and receive-what they're really hungering for: an intimate, secure, life-changing intimacy with the True Lover of a woman's soul. When Jesus is actively and practically fulfilling a woman's deepest needs day after day, hour by hour, not only does freedom await, but the gifts of sex, acceptance, material things, and ambition become good gifts rather than dream destroyers.
