Don't Follow Your Heart: Boldly Breaking the Ten Commandments of Self-Worship [Paperback]

'Don't Follow Your Heart is a bold, timely, and enjoyable read. Williams takes the top ten common 'commandments' permeating our culture and systematically shows how they each lead (surprisingly) to misery and brokenness. This is a book I will be recommending wholeheartedly to the next generation.''Don't Follow Your Heart is filled with truths that lay bare the theological, philosophical, and logical failures of today's self-worship religion. Williams writes with a wit and relatability that make this book a joy to read. If I could put it into the hands of every Christian high school student, I would!''In Don't Follow Your Heart, Thaddeus Williams challenges us to break the self-worship commandments that promise freedom but deliver captivity. I appreciate the bold urgency of this call. Following the herd is leading our generation off a cliff. Maybe a little heresy can do us a lot of good.''Thaddeus Williams skillfully dismantles the ten commandments of self worship and shows us a better way. Don't Follow Your Heart is a wonderfully biblical guidebook for those who desire full, meaningful, and counter-cultural lives--lives with God at the very center.''The fear of missing out (#FOMO) and self-worship began in the garden. Instead of bearing God's image as witnesses of his majesty, we have become imposters who bear witness to our own kingdoms. Thaddeus Williams exposes the futility of self-worship with kingdom of God-aligned correctives that reflect God's glory and his commitment to redeem us. Read this book expectantly. You won't be disappointed.''Today's ascendent religion--a new orthodoxy--derives from malformed self-love and expressive individualism and includes a new ethical code: following your heart. Gratefully, Thaddeus Williams here provides a calm, careful, and cogent cure rooted, not in Self, but in Savior, the One who created and loved us, the One who made our hearts for Him, the One who truly has just authority and thereby does all things right.
