Download or read book God Has a Name written by John Mark Comer and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2017-03-28 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God Has a Name is a simple yet profound guide to understanding God in a new light--focusing on what God says about himself. 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. In God Has a Name, 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, the act of learning who God is just might surprise you--and change everything.

Supposedly he had to work this Thanksgiving but would join us Thursday night, then he fell asleep after work and would join us Friday morning before going to the mall. Leaving the mall around five, he was a no-show, so I made a conscious decision to go home once we got to my sister-in-law's house. I packed our things, left my two oldest girls, and got on the highway heading home. I stopped to get gas thirty to forty miles down the road. My sons, five and ten, were all buckled up; I had my bedroom shoes on. Taking a left out of the service station, I was heading home. One mile, two miles, this road was now very narrow, icy, and snow had accumulated from the weather earlier that day. Leveling off at an elevation of 4,200 feet, we started down this mountain. Two hundred feet we stared in disbelief at a twenty-five-foot white gate stretched across the snow-covered road.

Book excerpt: Many songs, sermons, and scripts revolve around the theme of faith that can move mountains. But what do you do when the mountain refuses to move? You may find yourself wondering, “Is there something wrong with my faith? Have I done something wrong? Is God angry with me?” Mountain Climbers seeks to address these questions and more; it deals not with physical mountains but the metaphorical mountains that tower over you. You may not always understand why God allows you to meet such intimidating obstacles, but there is always a purpose. God will often allow you to climb the mountain rather than moving it for you. But no worries—God will climb it with you! You can overcome the heights of insecurity, fear, offense, and seemingly impossible situations. In these essays, author and pastor Travis McKamie shares the real-life lessons he has learned from the valleys, journeys, and mountaintops that he reached when he chose to climb. Stop standing in the shadow of life’s mountains and wondering whether they will ever move. Instead, find the motivation to equip yourself, take the first step, and start climbing. After all, the view will be better from the top!
