DESCRIPTION

What if you're living in the wrong reality?

In our media-drenched culture, we are constantly surrounded by a sexy slick version of life. This hyperreal world offers a never-ending array of products and experiences that are better than reality. The glamorous images in movies, advertising, and televison show people just like us, only better - with computer-enhanced photos, celebrity status and Hollywood endings.

The clear message is this: if we want to be happy and successful, we must imitate what we see in the media. But the lifestyles we see there are not real, they are illusions, an airbrushed reality. The more we are exposed to these simulated images, the more dissatisfied we become with our lives.

In this book, pastor Mark Sayers reveals how this consumer-driven lifestyle sabotages our faith. he urges us to leave behind the culture's concept of a plastic "buddy Jesus" who wants us to have a good time and invites us to rediscover the real Jesus, who leads us to the deeper reality of abundant, eternal life.

With cultural savvy, biblical insight and humour, Sayers moves from consumerism to conviction and community, showing us how to escape the trap of hyperreality. This book will help you gain a fresh understanding of God's reality that will put you on the real path to happiness, fulfillment and meaning.
