Everyone and everything in the world has a
name. What is God’s name?
In poetic text and vibrant illustrations,
this modern fable celebrates the diversity and, at the same
time, the unity of all people.
“God must have a single name this
greater and more powerful than all other names.” All the
people of the world set out to find God’s name …
and each of the many seekers is sure that he or she alone has
found the right name, the only name, for God. Finally, they come
together—and at last learn what God’s name really
is.
In God’s Name is a spiritual celebration of all people of the
world and their belief in one God.
