Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Avery on February 19, 2024

I’ve had a lot of people inquire about my low rating for this book, so I wanted to give a bit of clarification. For some background, I'm very familiar with John Mark Comer and have found a lot of his teaching on living as a Christian in a post-Christian culture to be extremely helpful; he's got a gr......more

Goodreads review by Bethany on July 09, 2017

I'm torn between really liking the content of this book and hating the style in which it was written. It reads like a book-length blog post, complete with single-sentence paragraphs, words and phrases in bold fonts, and super cheesy asides.......more

Read this book. Then again and again until your eyes roll into the back of your head. If you thought you had a good idea of who God is... think again.......more

Goodreads review by Sam on November 09, 2021

This is a goody. I’ve had a friend telling me to read this for ages and I finally got around to it. JMC isn’t from the usual crowd I read from and I’ve heard him be criticised for some of his more open minded views of God so I had a few hesitations coming in. However, this is a 5 star through and th......more

Goodreads review by Janae on July 01, 2023

I can now read Exodus 33 and 34 in an entirely new light after Comer used this passage to build a foundation of God's very nature and character. Using meanings from the original Hebrew, he helps uncover the hidden meanings behind these important verses. Comer's writing style is unique, and is more c......more
