God Has a Name

What You Believe About God Will Shape Who You Become

Read by the author.

What you believe about God sets the foundation of the person you will become.

In God Has a Name, pastor and New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer invites you to rethink many of the prevalent myths and misconceptions about God and weigh them against what God actually tells us about himself. After all, what you believe about God will ultimately shape the type of person you become.

We all live at the mercy of our ideas, and nowhere is this more true than our ideas about God. The problem is many of our ideas about God are wrong. Not all wrong, but wrong enough to form our souls in detrimental and disheartening ways.

God Has a Name is a simple yet profound guide to understanding God in a new light--focusing on what God says about himself in the Bible. This one shift has the potential to radically alter how you relate to God, not as a doctrine, but as a relational being who responds to you in an elastic, back-and-forth way.

John Mark Comer takes you line by line through Exodus 34:6-8--Yahweh's self-revelation on Mount Sinai, one of the most quoted passages in the Bible. Along the way, Comer addresses some of the most profound questions he came across as he studied these noted lines in Exodus, including:

• Why do we feel this gap between us and God?
• Could it be that a lot of what we think about God is wrong? Not all wrong, but wrong enough to mess up how we relate to him?
• What if our "God" is really a projection of our own identity, ideas, and desires?
• What if the real God is different, but far better than we could ever imagine?

No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, God Has a Name invites you to step into a fresh and biblically rooted vision of who God is that has the potential to alter your life with God and shape who you become.

Great guide to the One True God

Comer has a way of stating the truth that does not shy away from the deep mysteries of Scripture and simultaneously does not oversimplify the Living God.

This book is well worth your time.

Oh my goodness

This book is one of JMC's best work. This book is such a pleasing to me. I would recommend!! I will read this again every year...maybe more

God is Good

I really enjoyed the walk through of Exodus 34:6-6 and how God's description of Himself is echoed throughout Scripture. JM calls out the many false God's we may worship and reminds us to contemplate God as He is, not the gods of our culture or imaginations.

Captivating and well thought out

Kept me engaged the entire time. Was hard to step away from it, just wanted to keep listening. Great narrating voice. Ideas flowed and organized. Wonderful how he uses scripture to reveal God's nature and makes it relevant to our lives now. So thankful this was recommended by our church. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Amazing!

I love that this book simply explained the heart of God! It’s so so good! I keep re-listening to this book!
