About this listen

 Is an imposter robbing you of God's love?

Many Christians have bought into the lie that we are worthy of God's love only when our lives are going well. If our families are happy or our jobs are meaningful, life is a success. But when life begins to fall through the cracks and embarrassing sins threaten to reveal our less-than-perfect identity, we scramble to keep up a good front to present to the world - and God. We cower and hide until we can rearrange the mask of perfection and look good again.

Sadly, it is then that we wonder why we lack intimate relationships and a passionate faith. Yes all this time God is calling us to take the mask off and come openly to Him. God longs for us to know in the depth of our being that He loves us and accepts us as we are. When we are true selves, we can finally claim our identity as God's child - Abba's child - and experience His pleasure in who we are.

Brennan Manning encourages readers to let go of the imposter lifestyle and freely accept our belovedness as a child of the heavenly Father. In Him there is life, our passion is rekindled, and our union with Him is His greatest pleasure.

I'll be honest, this is not my kind of book but I admit it did get me thinking about how I view God and how I view myself.
I'd recommend for anyone looking to deal with these questions especially if you feel you are unlovable.

I will have to re-read and put time aside to ponder in the ideas presented.

I loved the sharing of honesty in this book , it does indeed make you think about how you view Jesus , yourself and others? Simplified many questions I had and more I hadn’t thought of yet? This is a beautiful and moving account of this man’s life, his learning and his want to share the knowledge with anyone with “eyes to see or ears to hear” All I can say is thank you 🙏🏻 and God Bless .

Easy to understand and answers questions I have struggled with before.
