God Has a Name: What You Believe About God Will Shape Who You Become
Giới thiệu về sách nói này
New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer invites readers to rethink many prevalent myths and misconceptions about God and weigh them against what God actually tells us about himself. After all, what we believe about God will ultimately shape the type of person we will 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.
Now, for the first time ever, in an aesthetically engaging, freshly designed hardcover edition that features a brand-new teaching on contemplative prayer and practices for the digital age, God Has a Name is a simple yet profound guide to communing with God in light of what he says and reveals 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.
Comer takes the reader line by line through Exodus 34:6-8--God's self-revelation of his inner nature on Mount Sinai--one of the most quoted passages in the Bible. Along the way, he addresses some of the most profound questions we face today, 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, this vision of God has the potential to alter your life with God and shape who you become.
