Learning My Name (Zondervan, 2009) is about learning that the love of the Father is far more durable than we’ve come to believe. If the My Beautiful Idol is the prodigal story, then Learning My Name is the story of the elder brother learning to tell his father what is really happening, where the pain really lives, and asking the father if the pain was intended to mean what the elder brother thought it meant. More specifically, it’s a story about me dealing with the neurotic thinking that caused my addictions to grow (and me with them).
The book is broken into three sections – Tyrants, Slaves and Fools – each being a category of error we fall into when we make room for the idea of love without making room for the personal God who is love. Here’s the little video I posted to my Amazon profile…
