Publisher's Summary

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.

A picture of God’s love

I will listen to this again and again. I may even buy the book itself. It is beautifully written and read.

Such a true message, recommend!!

I loved this book so much. I actually ordered it in hard copy before the book was halfway done.
It wasn’t a recommendation. I was scrolling and added it and came across it months later. This is one I will listen to again and again, and so should you!
He was speaking to my heart in so many ways and I know this is the truth YHWH, our Abba, wants us to know about him and his love.

Great book but poor performance by the reader.

This is a fantastic book by Brennan Manning. However the reader seems to be in a hurry. He often speeds past when he should read a particularly meaningful phrase with care. While his voice and tone is appropriate to the subject, it soon feels like he doesn't care for the material.
