Don't Follow Your Heart: Boldly Breaking the Ten Commandments of Self-WorshipToday we are told to be true to ourselves, look within for answers, and follow our hearts. But when we put our own happiness first, we experience record breaking levels of aimlessness, loneliness, depression, and anxiety. Self centeredness always fails to deliver the fulfillment we're seeking. In Don't Follow Your Heart, Thaddeus Williams debunks the "ten commandments of self worship," which include popular propaganda, like: #liveyourbestlife: Thou

Today we are told to be true to ourselves, look within for answers, and follow our hearts. But when we put our own happiness first, we experience record-breaking levels of aimlessness, loneliness, depression, and anxiety. Self-centeredness always fails to deliver the fulfillment we're seeking. In Don't Follow Your Heart, Thaddeus Williams debunks the "ten commandments of self-worship," which include popular propaganda, like:
• #liveyourbestlife: Thou shalt always act in accord with your chief end—to glorify and enjoy yourself forever.
• #followyourheart: Thou shalt obey your emotions at all costs.
• #yolo: Thou shalt pursue the rush of boundary-free experience.

Williams builds a case that this type of self-worship is not authentic, satisfying, or edgy. Instead, its rehashing what is literally humanity's oldest lie. He calls on a new generation of mavericks and renegades, heretics who refuse to march in unison with the self-obsessed herd. With a fascinating blend of theology, philosophy, science, psychology, and pop culture, Williams points us to a life beyond self-defeating dogmas to a more meaningful life centered on Someone infinitely more interesting, satisfying, and awesome than ourselves. Featuring stories from Carl Trueman, Joni Eareckson Tada, J.P, Moreland, Josh McDowell, Alisa Childers, and more.

______________

With the publication of Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth, Professor Williams established himself as a leading evangelical philosophical Theologian with a tender heart for Jesus and others. He also possesses a keen eye for the hot-button issues in culture that are undermining unbelievers and believers alike. Now comes Don't Follow Your Heart, a penetrating book if insights that get deep into the heart of the emotional and spiritual suffering ubiquitous in our society. Not content to identify the fundamental problems, Williams goes on to provide us with ways to spot a set of problems in our own lives and practical steps to set them aside and live a more flourish biblical life. The book is deep but quite accessible and fun to read. I strongly recommend this book.' -- JP Moreland, distinguished professor of philosophy, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University and author of A Simple Guide to Experiencing Miracles

Such a nice suit!
Size: 14, Color: Beige
I was pleased upon getting this suit for my son. I really like the color, which is kind of like an oatmeal color. Nice and light color. The material is light and thinner, but very comfortable. It fit my son really well. It’s not lined or the best quality suit, but because it is a linen suit, it works out and look really good. I would recommend this one, especially for more of the summer/spring time.

Great vest
Size: 12, Color: Black
Great vest. I love the slim fit. It looks very nice on my son, not baggy or boxy looking like some vest. My son has used it for several occasions including a wake, a Beta Club induction, awards day, and soon his graduation celebration at church. The quality and material are good. Definitely worth what I paid.

Elegant Color and Very Well Made Vest
Size: 14, Color: Light Grey, Size: 14, Color: Light Grey
The vest is really nice and great quality, but it does run a little smaller than expected. I would suggest sizing up if you want a more comfortable fit. Other than that, it looks very sharp and well made.
