Love Has a Name

Learning to Love the Different, the Difficult, and Everyone Else

By: Adam Weber

Narrated by: Adam Weber

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 bestselling 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 twenty-seven 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 bestselling author of The Circle Maker and lead pastor of National Community Church

“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

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.

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.

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.

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. ❤
