God Has a Name: What You Believe About God Will Shape Who You Become

What we believe about God shapes how we live, pray, worship, and ultimately who we become. In God Has a Name, bestselling Christian author and pastor John Mark Comer invites readers to move beyond assumptions about God and discover how God actually reveals Himself in Scripture.

Centred on Exodus 34:6–8, one of the most significant descriptions of God’s character in the Bible, Comer works through Yahweh’s self-revelation to Moses on Mount Sinai. Looking closely at each phrase, he explores what Scripture teaches us about the name, character and attributes of God, and challenges the ways our culture, upbringing and even our own desires can shape a version of God that looks more like us than the God of the Bible.

Accessible, thoughtful and deeply rooted in Scripture, God Has a Name is an excellent read for anyone wanting to deepen their biblical theology, better understand the character of God, and build a life with God based on who He has revealed Himself to be.

Why We Love It:

• Rooted in Scripture: Built around Exodus 34:6–8 and God’s own revelation of His name and character to Moses.
• Challenges Our Assumptions: Encourages us to examine whether our understanding of God has been shaped more by Scripture or by culture, experience and our own expectations.
• Theology That Shapes Everyday Life: Comer connects what we believe about God with discipleship, prayer, relationships and spiritual formation.
• Accessible but Substantial: A great choice for readers wanting thoughtful Christian theology without feeling like they’re reading an academic textbook.

Who This Book Is For:
