Your Longing Has a Name: Come Alive to the Story You Were Made For

by Dominic Done

Overview

Have you ever wondered who God had in mind before you came to be? Dominic Done examines seven gifts that, when practiced through the help of the Holy Spirit, will restore you, cause you to flourish, and empower you to come alive to the story you were made for.

How is the health of your soul? Is the deepest part of you flourishing—or is it languishing and gasping for air? Life lately has been filled with exhausting challenges: personal loss, political division, economic turmoil, faith deconstruction, and isolation. And our soul feels it.

Yet in the face of uncertainty, the Bible assures us we can thrive inwardly. Jesus promised his followers the abundant life. But how do we find it? How can we flourish in difficult times?

In Your Longing Has a Name, author Dominic Done casts a beautiful vision of hope, revealing seven gifts God has provided for the health of the soul. He weaves together

• A unique approach to understanding our purpose
• Fresh language designed for current times of crisis and spiritual uncertainty
• Soulful theology that focuses on our identity in Christ rather than rules-based legalism
• Deeply moving personal stories, biblical insights, and relatable discussions on the human ache for meaning
• Examples from history, literature, art, and culture

Your Longing Has a Name paints a picture of hope during a time of crisis and confusion and helps us find ways for our soul to come alive.
