Abstract
In this inspirational book, Kerry Walters names today's "golden calves"--the idols we mistake for God, that keep us from knowing God truly. These idols include the "genie god," "big brother god," "patriot god," the "we-can-do-it! god," "by-the-book god," "my god," and others we have been taught or found in modern life. The more idols we recognize and remove from our interior shrines, Walters shows us, the more space we have for the real God, and for the spiritual values that make a difference in our lives and world.
