Sipping Saltwater: How to Find Lasting Satisfaction on a World of Thirst

I really appreciated this book. The issue of idolatry is real for all believers and this book is very thorough in examining our hearts. The more legalistic Christians and the more lax Christians will both find challenges in these words. I appreciate how most of Hoppe's examples of idols show how the two extremes of sin are a problem. eg. the christian struggling with legalistic busyness vs the christian who is lazy and doing nothing- both of which are a distortion of the bible. \\r\\n\\r\\nEvery example of modern idols is supported by a bible story which were well chosen and not over laboured, making it an easy read. Examples of idols in this book are from real stories, some of which are a little confronting, like a husband engaged in longterm homosexual affairs while married to his wife. This is useful to know if you are giving this book as a gift. \\r\\n\\r\\nPerhaps the """"sipping saltwater"""" phrase was a little overused - but others may find the repetition a helpful reminder the main point - which is that when we are thirsty, even though it looks ok to drink, the sipping of saltwater will slowly kill us.
