Summary of john mark comer's god has a name

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 God is the Creator of all that is good, beautiful, and true. God is also a sadistic monster who made ancient Hebrews eat their young. For me, the far more interesting question was always, What in the world is God like. #2 We become like what we worship. If you think of God as a Left-Coast, educated, LGTBQ-affirming progressive, that will shape you into the stereotype of the wealthy bohemian with the We Will Not Tolerate Intolerance bumper sticker on the back of your hybrid. #3 We often end up creating God in our own image. We want a God who is controllable because we want to be God ourselves. We want to be the authority on who God is or isn't and what's right or wrong, but we want the mask of religion or spirituality to cover up the I-wanna-be-God reality. #4 God has to reveal himself to us, and this is usually done through a surprise twist in the story. The Bible is a story about God and how we as people relate to him.
