Love Has a Name: Learning to Love the Different, the Difficult, and Everyone Else, (Hardcover)

God does not love some ideal person, but rather human beings just as we are. Dietrich Bonhoeffer Author Adam Weber has written a powerful, life-changing book. It is a quick, easy read yet it will challenge readers to rethink the way they approach everyone they know or meet. Webers premise is to truly change readers way of thinking and teach them to make conscious, willful and verbal decisions to make sure that Love has A Name! I truly believe that Webers book will help readers change the lives of all around them if they practice the simple principles that Jesus set forth: Love God. Love Others. This book was definitely written For Such A Time as This when there are far too many people who feel as though they are overlooked by most of society. Weber shows readers by example what a difference can be made in a persons life when we learn to love them the way Jesus would. Weber starts his book by sharing this insight. Jesus shows us that knowing peoples stories is the path to fully loving them. The pathway to love always begins with a story. Not our stories, but their stories. We cant love people if we cant truly see them, and we cant really see and know people without knowing their stories. How many of us take time to really know the stories of our families, our friends much less strangers we just meet? What a difference it would make if we all took time to learn some one elses story! This book challenged me because it has made me realize the times I have failed to stop and take time to listen to another persons story. What is my excuse??If I did, it would surely explain so much about them! It would help us all to understand each other so much more!! Weber uses the example of twenty-seven people and one school that have taught him about what it means for Love to have a Name. Love has a NAME and it is JESUS!! People will only know of our love for God by how they see us love others. We should be loving others EXTRAVAGANTLY! I was provided a complimentary copy of this book by Waterbrook.
