The Secret Battle of Ideas about God

Overcoming the Outbreak of Five Fatal Worldviews

“We’re in a battle for our hearts and minds. The Secret Battle of Ideas About God not only diagnoses the disease—it writes the prescription to cure it. As CEO of Summit Ministries, Dr. Jeff Myers has been in the trenches and foxholes of spiritual warfare. He doesn’t offer a sugar-coated salvation free from pain, problems, and pressure. Instead, he shows how a Christian worldview defeats the bad ideas that spread like viruses and multiply our misery. Secret Battle is hopeful, but it’s also deeply honest—and that’s what gives it such value. We’re all in the fight: Secret Battle is a combat manual for winning.”
— Mike Huckabee, Governor of Arkansas 1996-2007, television/radio personality, author, and speaker
 
"Jeff Myers’ brilliant and compelling The Secret Battle of Ideas About God is like a handbook on how to navigate life on Earth. Ideas are what will help us or kill us. The good ideas — which happen to be true — help us live even when life is difficult; and the bad ideas — which are lies — kill us from the inside. I’m thrilled my friend has written this important primer on one of the most important subjects there is: what we believe and how that affects everything else. May God use this book!"
— Eric Metaxas, New York Times bestselling author and host of the Eric Metaxas Show
 
“What good is it to complain about our ailments if we won’t seek the remedy? The Secret Battle of Ideas About God takes us inside the hidden battle that rages for our hearts and souls so we can see what attracts us to corrupt ideas and find the healing that comes from discovering the truth. Jeff Myers and Summit have given us another worldview classic.”
— Del Tackett, creator of The Truth Project
 
“Dr. Jeff Myers has devoted his life to studying worldview issues. He teaches students how to understand the differing perspectives that fill the culture around us. More importantly, he equips us to defend and communicate the Christian worldview in a way that articulates the truth in love. This book is sure to be a helpful resource.”
— Jim Daly, President of Focus on the Family
 
“There is no better authority on matters of worldview than Jeff Myers. He’s eminently qualified as a professor and the President of Summit Ministries, and uniquely gifted as a man who has experienced the consequence of bad ideas. In The Secret Battle of Ideas About God, Dr. Myers shows readers how five deadly worldviews threaten to rob each of us of the love, healing, purpose, and peace found in Jesus. If you’re struggling to see God’s hand in your life, or if you’ve ever felt alone or abandoned as a Christ follower, this book is a God-send. Secret Battle will help you think clearly about your Christian walk and equip you to share the power of the Christian worldview with others.”
— J. Warner Wallace, Best-selling Author of Cold-Case Christianity and God’s Crime Scene
 
“Ideas matter. They matter a lot, in fact. Unfortunately, too many people - including Christians are unaware of them and how they work. That’s why this book is so important. In The Secret Battle of Ideas About God, Jeff Myers unlocks how ideas are claiming our allegiance, both personally and culturally. It’s a captivating read, and so, so critical for all of us."
— John Stonestreet, President of the Chuck Colson Center for Christian Worldview
 
“Jeff Myers has written some powerful and timely books. I would venture to say that The Secret Battle of Ideas about God is his best yet. He deconstructs five 'fatal' worldviews of today by showing their logical inconsistencies, but more importantly, how they fail to fulfill the deepest needs of the human heart. And with insight and vulnerability, Myers shows both the uniqueness and power of the Christian worldview. This book will be a game-changer for those willing to read it with an open heart."
