Your Longing Has a Name: Come Alive to the Story You Were Made For Paperback – April 26, 2022
Purchase options and add-ons
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.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2022Dominic Done meets us where we need it the most. As a professional counselor I get daily requests from people that are anxious, burned out and exhausted. No one wants to be told what to do, but to have someone go along side of them and offer encouragement. If you are tired of being preached at then this is the book for you! Dom shares his own struggles and yet expertly conveys the healing word of God to your soul. This is one of the most timely books for our age and I encourage everyone to read this. If you don't know how you feel about God you will find many answers here. Dom speaks the truth with kindness and I promise you won't feel pressured.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2022In 2019 I came across a title scrolling through social media that caught my attention. When Faith Fails spoke directly to my hurting heart. I quickly became a fan of Dominic's writing style. He writes as if he's sitting across from you enjoying a cup of coffee. The conversation comes easy, the occasional giggle catches you by surprise, and the wisdom forever changes your heart. When Faith Fails helped me get out of a dark time in my life, so I was very excited to see that he had written another book. Climbing out of a dark season left my soul weary and his new book, Your Longing .. , gave me words to explain what I knew I had been feeling but wasn't quite sure how to express. We are all exhausted and this message is exactly what we need to be the light we are called to be.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2022This book is a breath of fresh air and so needed. It is so beautifully written. This is a must read for everyone. Though my soul is usually pretty joyful and hopeful, I’ve been walking through some health issues lately that have brought me to my knees with fear and uncertainty. In fact, as I write this review I am in bed recovering from surgery. Dominic’s book has reminded me how important the health of my soul is and that Jesus is the remedy. With Him and only Him I can walk through anything and still be at peace and flourish. One of my favorite quotes from the book is “Flourishing isn’t something you earn because you’re driven. It’s something you receive because you are loved.” Thank you Dominic for writing this book and for all that you do in service to our Father and to others. You are a light in this world and so many of us are eternally grateful.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2023Author has good presentation and uses valuable content.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2022Such a great book. I have usually felt like my soul was in a good place but the past 3 years of my life have been truly challenging. This book was a refreshing reminder that I am okay & God loves me in spite of everything. Such a pleasant surprise at chapter 4 when the author referenced a small town in North Carolina not far from me. I will keep my eyes open for anything else from this author.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2023This author is at once well researched, articulate and convicting. He writes scriptural and in an engaging and entertaining manner. Definitely a good book to start out the year!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2023I gained more out of this book than I have any read in years.
Very scriptural based encouragement, knowledge and practical advice for living life to the fullest in Jesus Christ.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2022This is an amazing read ! Loved it … could hardly put it down & was sorry when I read the last page ! I wanted more ! So true the world is gasping for air!
Our Longing does have a name and it is indeed Jesus !!
