With the voices of Joni Eareckson Tada, the Navarros, Jamal Bandy,
J. P. Moreland, Josh McDowell, Alyssa Poblete, Trevor Wright, David
Chung, Alisa Childers, and Walt Heyer. Don't Follow Your Heart
offers a compelling vision for the kind of Christianity that is
truly countercultural, that rebels against the status quo, that
offers something genuinely revolutionary. We were never meant to
bear the impossible weight of creating and sustaining our
identities, but with the steady stream of propaganda telling us to
be true to ourselves and live our best lives, it's no wonder many
of us are. In Don't Follow Your Heart, Thaddeus Williams builds a
case that self-worship is not authentic, it's arrogant. It is not
satisfying, it robs us of awe. It is hardly new and edgy, but is
hopelessly traditionalist, rehashing what is literally humanity's
oldest lie. As he explores the Ten Commandments of Self-Worship,
Williams calls for a new generation of heretics, iconoclasts,
renegades, mavericks, and rebels who refuse to march like good
little cows, mooing in unison with the herd. He points us to a life
beyond the boring, conventional, and self-defeating dogmas of
self-worship and shows us how much more meaningful a life centered
on God can truly be. Don't Follow Your Heart features: A
fascinating blend of theology, philosophy, science, psychology, and
pop culture. Grim stories of many patron saints of self-worship
including Nero, Rousseau, de Sade, Nietzsche, Sartre, Foucault, and
Jim Morrison. Accounts of notable heretics who rebelled
against self-worship, including Frederick Douglass, William
Wilberforce, Sophie Scholl, and G.K. Chesterton.Â
Straightforward ways to rebel against the mainstream message of
self-worship.
