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 ...to quench their thirst with Jesus’ living water—the only drink that will ever truly satisfy us both now and for eternity. It inspires readers to go on in the Christian life as they started—by making Jesus the center of our lives and giving our worship to him.

(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 ...Steve Hoppe! Praying this book touches many lives in years to come as it has mine.
