Publisher's summary

Discover the joy of stepping out and intentionally loving the people around you.

“Love has a name, and that name isn’t Mark or Adam or even yours! That name is Jesus, and when we make love about him, everything else falls into place. Struggling to love? Pick up this book!” (Mark Batterson, New York Times best-selling author of The Circle Maker and lead pastor of National Community Church)

Who does Jesus love? The stranger who looks strange. The driver who cuts us off in traffic. The person online who thinks differently than we do. Loving people is hard. Especially when it involves the difficult people in our lives and those different from us. We say we love others, but really we don’t. Instead of loving, we hurt, belittle, and overlook people. Which is precisely why we need to learn how to love — from Jesus and from one another.

Adam Weber knows firsthand how important it is to learn to love. And he’s learned incredible lessons from incredible people — some of them quite unexpected. With hope, humor, stretched comfort zones, biblical truth, and (maybe) a few tears, Love Has a Name looks at the most powerful of these stories, showing us 27 people (and one school) who have taught Adam how to love like Jesus.

One name at a time.

Critic reviews

“Loving people is hard! Even on our best days, loving those closest to us can be tough. But the stories Adam tells in Love Has a Name show us that love isn’t as complicated as we sometimes make it. Because love has a name, and that name isn’t Mark or Adam or even yours! That name is Jesus, and when we make love about him, everything else falls into place. Struggling to love? Pick up this book!” (Mark Batterson, New York Times best-selling author of The Circle Maker and lead pastor of National Community Church)

“In Love Has a Name, Adam Weber shows us how to love people even when it’s painful, tough, and draining. Adam’s writing rejuvenates my soul. This book truly ministered to my heart—my longing not just to love Jesus but to love like him. Grab this book!” (Rashawn Copeland, founder of I’m So Blessed Daily and author of Start Where You Are)

“Some of the most powerful moments in our lives are when someone calls us by name. It literally makes our brains fire faster. We feel special. My friend Adam Weber has wrestled this to the ground in Love Has a Name. I’ve watched Adam love people well - he’s the right guy to lead this conversation. Adam points us to the one who knows love like no other: Jesus.” (Tyler Reagin, author of The Life-Giving Leader and founder of the Life-Giving Company)

Homerun again

Adam does such an amazing job writing, he speaks to you to your heart. I feel a sense of peace when I read or listen to his books, hands down recommend.

Great, I recommend this to everyone.

I found so much value in each chapter. I'm listening for the third time and the messages in this book have made a permanent place in my heart.

Beautful.

I laughed. I cried. I self reflected. This story was beautiful. Adam is a true man of God. Struggling through the ups and downs like all of us. ❤

Just great

I loved this book! The Christian life can feel overwhelming but Adam makes it clear a perfect walk isn’t the goal. It’s all about loving others.

Inspiring

I found this book and the narration to be highly encouraging and motivating. It inspired me to love better and in ways I had not thought about. I am going to start it again now.

learning to love like Jesus

so open, honest, loved it. worth reading God's perfect love taught well. thank you much

I highly recommend this book!

I am new to finding my faith, even though I’m almost 40 years old. I feel like I’ve been searching for a missing piece all my life and this book helped me realize that it’s been God this whole time.....and he’s been with me all along.

Every chapter, Adam talks about a specific person he’s met in his life and he relates each person to a story in the Bible. It’s easy to understand and he’s filled with a raw and genuine love for all people....from all walks of life. It’s refreshing and relevant. Whether you are deep into your journey with God....or a newer believer like me, you will find something relatable in his clever and sincere stories he tells throughout this book.

Love Has A Name...

Adam Weber tells stories of the people he’s encountered who have showed him how to love& people he’s loved too. Each of the stories portrays a real, messy, beautiful love that meets people right where they are - just the way Jesus did.
If you’re feeling discouraged or jaded and having a hard time finding love for e people around you, or if you’re feeling pretty unloveable yourself right now, this book is worth every minute of your time.

God's love explained...

I have recently been saved and blessed by the amazing love of God. Adam Weber's book Love has a Name is a wonderful explanation of the overwhelming and unwavering love that God has for us and a reminder that we are to reflect that love to our brothers and sisters. Thank you for putting these words of truth and righteousness in a relatable, down to earth way. May God bless all who find this wisdom and heed its opportunity to bring more to Christ.

Wonderful inspiring book that’s helping me love people more like Jesus does

Adam is so genuine with his own humanity while being surrendered to allow Christ to work through him. I loved hearing the stories of messy people. I encounter similar people on a regular basis, and these stories are helping me to see them through the eyes of Jesus. Thank you for this wonderful book!!!
