The False Gods is a novel written by George Horace Lorimer in 1906. The story revolves around the life of a young man named John Hodder, who is a minister at a church in a small town in New England. John is a devout Christian, but he begins to question his faith when he is faced with the harsh realities of life. He becomes disillusioned with the church and its teachings, and he begins to doubt the existence of God.As John struggles with his faith, he meets a wealthy businessman named Eldon Parr. Eldon is a powerful and influential member of the community, and he takes an interest in John. Eldon sees potential in John and offers him a job as his personal secretary. John accepts the offer, and he soon becomes immersed in Eldon's world of wealth and power.As John becomes more involved with Eldon, he begins to see the flaws in Eldon's character. Eldon is a man who is consumed by his own ambition, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. John begins to realize that Eldon is a false god, and he must choose between his loyalty to Eldon and his own moral convictions.The False Gods is a thought-provoking and insightful novel that explores the themes of faith, morality, and the corrupting influence of power.
