Are you stumbling through Life? Have you lost your direction? Do you have a clear path for your life and a way to achieve your goals? Many people struggle when it comes to their life’s journey. They often make bad decisions with the best intentions only to feel hopeless and helpless in their path when things didn’t go as planned. Dolly Parton, a famous award-winning country singer, said, “If you don’t like the road you’re walking, start paving another one.” You can’t rely on your family, friends, or colleagues to change your direction. The focus of creating your path is your responsibility. Where do you start? How do you pave another path when it’s God’s path you must travel?

With numerous distractions prevalent in our lives, the challenge to create a path without God in control and seek the advancement of self becomes enticing. We are taught as children to focus on becoming the best we can be and at all costs. The saying, “I think I can” becomes, “I know I can,” and as a result, we become entrapped in achieving our success without God’s direction.

What do you do when your path does not lead to success? What happens when you start creating a path that isn’t God-centered and driven? Is there only one path?

Self the Hidden Idol by Willie R. Smith, a full-time missionary, examines how we deceive ourselves into thinking we can do all things possible without God in our lives, and self-idolization erupts deep within. The effect is devastating in our lives resulting in despair, depression, and hopelessness. The desired outcome for readers is to become aware of their hidden idol, they maintain within, and address it head-on with no excuses. Smith discusses the many facets of self-awareness of the idol within and how we became self-centered. A reader will learn to recognize their hidden idol, and how to live a selfless life of victory through Christ Jesus, even when the path chosen seems to lead to nowhere. A directionless path is a destructive path. There is victory ahead in your path when you address the idol within and allow God to lead the way. Start your journey to victory today; form your path in the direction He designed for you. Self the Hidden Idol will guide you on your journey. Be victorious!

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Willie Smith grew up in a small town called Shiloh, Georgia and is the founder of New Creation517 Inc. He has written several blogs and teaching for his website www.newcreation517.org but Willie never aspired to write a book as he thought there were already enough Christian books on the bookshelves and in people's homes. But being obedient to God, Willie wrote his first book, “Self: The Hidden Idol,” a book that concisely demonstrates the ways in which we both actively and passively worship the idol of Self in our lives. Through personal reflection and renouncing of lies that the idol of Self was formulating in his own life, Willie’s book teaches on how to replace worship of ourselves with a full understanding of God’s grace and the freedom that is found only through the cross of Jesus Christ. Willie remains devoted to sharing the love of God in Jesus Christ along with his wife Shengxi through their ministry as missionaries. In “Self: The Hidden Idol,” Willie offers the world what God has taught him, through His Word and by the revelation of the Holy Spirit.
