In 'The Meaning of Marriage', Herbert Doms delves into the theological and philosophical underpinnings of marriage, discussing its primary and secondary ends. The book emphasizes the procreation and education of children as the primary end of marriage, while also addressing the mutual help and support between spouses as a secondary end. Doms' work is rooted in traditional Catholic teachings and explores the implications of these teachings on marital relationships and sexual ethics[2][3][5].

In 'Counterfeit Gods,' Timothy Keller identifies and examines specific idols that rule over individual people and nations. He argues that many good things, such as money, sex, power, and success, can become 'ultimate' and thus idols when they are elevated above God. Keller uses biblical stories, contemporary examples, and personal experiences to illustrate how these idols function and how they can be replaced with true, biblical, and spiritual worship. The book emphasizes the need to root out these idols and cling to the one hope worth having, our faith in the work of Jesus Christ.
