God Has a Name

By John Mark Comer

Book Overview

"There aren't many questions in life that if you find the answer to them, it can change everything. But asking who God is and what he is like are two of those questions, and John Mark Comer brilliantly answers them in this book." -Jefferson Bethke

Many of us ache for relationship with God, yet feel distant and disconnected from him. As if he's more of an idea we believe in our head than a person we relate to. But God has a name: Yahweh. This one simple idea 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.

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? And what if the real God is different, but far better than we could ever imagine?

This book is a simple, but profound guide to what God says about himself. In his signature conversational-but-smart style, John Mark Comer takes you line by line through Exodus 34:6-8--Yahweh's self-revelation on Mount Sinai--called by some scholars the one most quoted verse in the Bible, by the Bible.

Wherever you are in your spiritual journey, who God is just might surprise you--and change everything.

Amazing!

Life-changing book revealing the incredible love of Yahweh. Too much to put in a review and I'm truly unable to use mere words to describe the impact of the power of this book digging into God's Word.

A life changing, well written, easy to understand, and incredible book based on Exodus 34:6-7

I cannot write all that I learned because it would make review too long, plus I will be studying this book for a long time as I really love this book!!! But here are some things I learned through this book, and I cannot recommend it highly enough, for it has really changed my life, and how I see God, plus it has deepened my relationship with Him so much! 5 stars just doesn't do it justice! A few things that I learned: - What the significance of a name truly means, and why knowing that name is so important. - Jesus is the true revelation of the cry, " Show us Your glory, Lord!" - What I thought was prayer, really is so much more beautiful and relational than what I had been taught, which lead to a deeper and more intimate prayer life between me & my Abba! - Some helpful insights about the Hebrew and Greek languages which helped me to understand the Bible a little better! - Who my Abba, my name for Him, says I am, and what true intimacy looks like from His perspective, that has been shown to all of us in His word! - Most importantly, I learned through each line of Exodus 34:6-7 to see the glory of the Lord by learning His real name, not just what He is called, but His true identity that is wrapped up in His character, and embodied completely in Jesus, and thereby helping me to see that same amazing, holy, pure, righteous, loving, compassionate, and incredible glory is daily filling this temple - me! I feel literally like my eyes have been opened, and scales have fallen off - scales that have been stopping me from seeing God as He truly is. I took the challenge Mr. Comer gives at the beginning, asking if I have the courage to go up on the mountain, like Moses, where God was waiting, so He could reveal His glory to me, and I'm so glad I did, because now, through Jesus, I got a glimpse of His glory, and it lives in me! I am still a work in progress, but Yahweh has taken this book, and begun to open my eyes to see Him in the way He has always desired for me, and now I can't wait to keep journeying on this road together with Him! I can't thank Mr. Comer enough for allowing the Holy Spirit to write such a life changing book, and I pray that many will read it, and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal who God truly is, and deepen their relationship to Him in true intimacy. There is nothing better!!!
