Love Has a Name
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.

Talking with God
Summary
Life is crazy. Prayer is simple. Prayer seems like it should be so simple. Yet when it comes to actually praying, often it feels awkward and complicated. I mean...what should you actually pray about? What do you say? Is there anything you should or shouldn't say? Do you have to speak out loud? Where do you even start? To make matters worse, we've heard about prayer for so long that we feel awkward asking about it. It's like having to ask a person's name after knowing them for years. Because we really should know their name by now, we feel embarrassed to ask. Then comes the reality and craziness of life. Between work, changing diapers, walking the dog, a full inbox, trying to keep up with our neighbors...and the laundry, who has time to pray? The truth is, prayer is simple. It's like talking. Talking with a good friend. And what we may not know is the best part: no matter where we are in life, God can't wait to talk with us. What does it look like to pray in the midst of your life? What do you say when you don't know how to pray? I'm asking the same questions. Let's talk.
