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.

Realizing how little control we have over our lives can make us fearful and anxious--or it can lead to greater intimacy with God, a richer prayer life, and a joyful eternal perspective. Seasons of grief, pain, and loss of control are inevitable. Despite our best efforts and steadfast faith, reality rarely matches our expectations. In an unpredictable and broken world, how do we cling to a foundation that provides purpose for today and hope for the future? In their new book, Beyond Our Control, Michael and Lauren McAfee show us how trusting God brings greater contentment than the illusion of control. With deep and abiding faith, the McAfees draw on their experiences with adoption, infertility, illness, and loss to help readers navigate unexpected circumstances. Offering biblical insights and their powerful story of pain and providence, Michael and Lauren know that no matter what happens--to their family, work, or ministry--everything is as it should be because God is in control, and he is good. The McAfees help us: recognize the illusion of control and how it leads to greater anxiety;understand why glorifying God is the richest expectation we can have for our lives;realize that Jesus' pain on the cross brings hope and healing to the pain we experience now;practice the profoundly comforting spiritual discipline of lament, which makes room for us to process grief; anduse times of loss to make more room for God's work of growing and sanctifying us. If you struggle to embrace the life you have rather than the life you wanted, this book invites you to find a deeper peace in God than you could have imagined.
