About this book

A unique angle on the problem of idolatry and how it affects Christians, particularly in our contemporary culture of numerous hidden idols.

The uniqueness of this book comes in the metaphor of sipping saltwater. Even as Christians, we 'sip' on idols such as money, relationships, careers, sex, food, human approval…the list is endless. These things promise to satisfy us—to quench our thirst. In the end, however, they fail to do so and leave us thirstier than we were before drinking them. To make matters worse, we are left with devastating hangovers—the negative consequences of our idolatry.

This book enables readers to identify their own source(s) of saltwater and explains how ...

Endorsements

The idea that we are constantly sipping saltwater is an extremely helpful image which is then carefully applied to our battle with sin. It is beautifully honest, packed with stories, and ultimately full of hope in Christ.

Jonty Allcock Pastor of Globe Church, London; author of Lost, Hero and More of Jesus

Our lives get more busy yet more empty. Steve gets this—he gets us. He describes what you feel, why you feel like that, and walks with you to a better way. And, somehow, he does it in a way that makes you feel heard, even befriended. Within two pages you will be drawn in by Steve's honesty and how he seems to speak to you. Then you read the entire book—hope rising with each chapter. Since one chapter will be uniquely yours, you will double back, re-read that chapter, and act on that hope.

Dr Edward T. Welch Counselor and faculty member at the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF)

In Sipping Saltwater, Steve grabs your attention from the very first sentence. He sheds unique insight into idolatry through vivid imagery and solid biblical instruction. He powerfully points you to the only One who can and will quench your thirst. I will be sharing this book with those I counsel—both professing Christians and those who profess no faith at all.

Dr Timothy Lane author of How People Change; President of the Institute for Pastoral Care

(Review written for 'Sipping Saltwater')

I have had Sipping Saltwater in my possession for several years and have come back to read it several times. There are SO many good nuggets in this book and it is the type you can read a few pages at a time and pray through the day as God reveals further truth in your heart. I really appreciate Steve’s candidness in this book and so many examples and scenario’s. It has been a joy to read and convicting for my soul time. It helps me draw closer to God And examine my life every time I read it. Bravo ...
