Idols are good for two things: making us feel important and making us feel loved. But the idols keep crashing---even when the author turns to his own Christian faith to construct an identity that will give him the life he craves. Through a variety of experiences---sublime and wretched, ego-building and humbling, joyous and painful---he learns the difference between pursuing holy hero status and discovering the unpredictable and uncontrollable love of God."
