Although not inherently corrupt, the American Idol television program has magnified a culture preoccupied with fleeting fame and image overload. Feeding off that frenzy, "American Idols" takes a necessary look at the false gods in modern society. The golden calf of Bible times may be gone, but in its place today are enslavements to consumerism ('The eBay mentality'), naturalism, individualism, humanism ('The Superman Myth'), celebrity ('The Rock Star Syndrome'), not to mention instant gratification, success, appearance, sexual freedom, easy religion, and more. This timely book helps readers realize and overcome their own idolatries.
