Gospel Treason

Is it harder for you to change and grow as a Christian than it should be? Do you wonder what is holding you back? Have you ever considered that it might be idolatry?


Using real-life stories and examples, Brad Bigney shows us how the idols we might not even recognize can still have devastating effects in our lives. In this transparent, honest book, he helps us to identify our idols, understand how they lead us to commit treason against the gospel—and finally repent of them and root them out forever by turning to the only One who can fill our every need.


“Can help all of us take an honest look at the inner workings of our hearts. Let these important words guide you as you continue to mature in your relationship with Jesus.”

—Stephen Viars, Senior Pastor, Faith Church, Lafayette, Indiana


“A much needed book that explains and exposes heart idolatry and clearly offers the gospel as the only cure.”

—Jim Newheiser, Director, Institute for Biblical Counseling and Discipleship


“Pastor-counselor Bigney has the right mix of confession of sin and failure, testimony of God’s working in his own life and marriage, teaching about idols of the heart, exhortation to face one’s own idols, and practical suggestions on how to change.”

—Randy Patten, Executive Director, National Association of Nouthetic Counselors


“Many Christians are praying for a revival in the church. . . . Since this revival begins in the heart of each of God’s people, this book can be used . . . to help bring this to pass.”
