Cultural Counterfeits: Confronting 5 Empty Promises of Our Age and How We Were Made for So Much More - Paperback

by Jen Oshman (Author), Christine Hoover (Foreword by)

Jen Oshman Helps Women Reject Idols and Discover God's Good Purpose for Their Lives

In today's culture, women and girls are influenced by idols that promise purpose and meaning for their lives--outward beauty and ability, sex, abortion, and gender fluidity. Christian women aren't exempt from these temptations either, and can even elevate good things like marriage and motherhood to the status of idolatry. Women may sense that these idols are hollow and leave them feeling unsettled, but where should they turn instead?

In Cultural Counterfeits, Jen Oshman encourages women to reject the empty, destructive promises these idols offer and embrace something much more satisfying. She casts a vision for women to experience real hope and peace in Jesus, calling them to recognize their unshakable and eternal identities in him. This timely and compelling resource will help women find freedom and joy as they explore God's good design and purpose for their lives.
