Love Has a Name: Learning to Love the Different, the Difficult, and Everyone Else
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.

Adam lives what he writes. Genuine, humble, authentic. Even though love seems like a subject that has been written about over and over, this book challenged me in a fresh way to consider the ways I tangibly express my love. Please do yourself a favor and read this book!

FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS!!
“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. Weber’s 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 Weber’s 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 person’s life when we learn to love them the way Jesus would.
Weber starts his book by sharing this insight. “Jesus shows us that knowing people’s stories is the path to fully loving them. The pathway to love always begins with a story. Not our stories, but their stories. We can’t love people if we can’t truly see them, and we can’t 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 else’s 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 person’s 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. The opinions expressed here are completely my own and without influence.

As many of you know im not a huge book reader but when i saw that this book was coming out Love Has A Name. I said I have to get a copy of this and read it to see what it is all about. I am very happy to say that I made that choice. This book has not only opened my eyes more to the God and father the creator and his son Jesus but to also that no matter what your feeling are towards one another that you should always try to love one another no matter how hard or difficult it might be. As well as always try to be there to help people in need and people who are hurting because that is why God had his son show us all these examples not to just ignore them and not use his examples but to follow is his lovely name and follow the examples that Jesus laid at our feet to follow and lead by example. If you have not got a copy of this book please go to Amazon or Barnes and noble and get yourself a copy of this book it will be the best decision you have made wether your a hard-core Christian already just started to beleive in god or haven't quite made that decision yet its going to be a good book for you to read and hopefully change some aspect of your life and better your life somehow and as myself also so my kids the life of Jesus and how to respect one another and show the love does has a name and can be anyone we want it to be but god was the name that love gave a name. God bless and have a great rest of thw week

I was minding my own business, just mentally ranting about the state of the world and this culture of disrespect that seems to have become so prevalent, when I saw the info for an upcoming release from Adam Weber and Waterbook called Love Has A Name. My rant came to a screeching halt. THIS! This is what I was struggling to articulate! Love DOES have a name, and a face, and a story. Putting those elements together, name + face + story, gives humanity to the people around us and facilitates the kind of love we're meant to have for each other. Adam Weber articulates this well through the chapters that each highlight the names and stories of individuals God has used to teach the author about love, as well as corresponding Bible characters who exhibit each kind of love. I recommend reading this one with a highlighter in hand; the stories are spot-on and the insights are well worth noting.

This is a book that we can all use. It isn't' easy to love everyone we know and run across, yet Jesus commands us to do it. The author of Love Has a Name does a great job of reminding us how important and how possible it is to do that, with God's help.
Love Has a Name is well written, is an interesting and important read, and is written in an easy to understand and read style. Using both personal stories and Biblical characters like Zaccheus, the author shows how we and others are loved, and gives helpful advice on how to love others. Even difficult people. This is a great and helpful book, and I enjoyed reading it.

I loved the concept of the book from its title and now having read it, I love the content even more!
Author Adam Weber describes a way of living that would change the world my kids are growing up in if we'd simply implement love as a starting point with others. As I read the book I found myself identifying as both characters in each story because at times I am the different and difficult one and other times I am able to love people who are those things.
The world needs more love in it and this book show you why Love is worth it.
Highly recommend it.

I finished reading "Love Has A Name" by Adam Weber, and it was good. 5 stars. Struggle to love people? Same here. This book is about the people Adam has met that showed him how love has a name.
August 30, 2020
Adam has done it again! You will laugh, you will cry, and you will learn more about finding love in the most challenging times. There are so many amazing lessons to learn from others and this book is a great reminder of that! You need this book in your life!

Adam Webber has written a gem, a truly stirring book that hits the stores today! Love Has A Name, published by Penguin Randomhouse, is one of the best pieces of inspirational literature that I have experienced in quite a long time.
Love Has A Name, Learning to Love the Different, the Difficult, & Everyone Else is just what we all need when it seems so many changes in the world make us want to seethe with frustration. I know that I have felt less patient with many in my life when usually I am very tolerant.
I think what attracted me to the book, besides the title, was the format that it is written. In lieu of simply writing the book as a devotional or instruction book, quoting scripture and preaching through the lessons, Webber approaches the book through the use of personal accounts. He breaks the book into three major parts. Part 1 is Some People Who Have Loved Me. Part 2 is Some People I'm Learning to Love. Part 3 is Your Name. Within each part are many chapters telling a different person's story and how Christ works His good through them.
I love meeting people, so getting to know so many unique individuals through the book was a true joy for me. I soaked up God's love and grace through the stories without feeling like I was having scripture drummed into me. Instead, it simply flowed through me and lit my heart.
I am privileged to recommend Webber's book, Love Has A Name, and hope that you, reader, find as much fulfillment from it as I have.

In Love Has A Name, Adam Weber shares the stories of twenty-seven different people God used to open his heart to love more fully. Adam shares personal, real-life experiences with people who’ve crossed his path, each chapter named for the person who inspired the lesson in love. From those stories, he shares the lessons God has taught him through those encounters about how to be loved and how to love others like Jesus.
As you walk with Adam through these stories, you’ll learn to love the unpopular, to reach out to the different, to comfort people through their pain, to speak truth to people even when it’s hard to hear, and so much more. You’ll even learn what it means to be on the receiving end of these different expressions of love and how to have confidence in Jesus’ love for yourself.
The way Adam shares these experiences is so vulnerable, moving and engaging you can’t help but be drawn into the story, connected to the people, and inspired to love more like Jesus. I really believe Adam is one of the most humble, sincere, inspiring Christian voices right now and I'm so thankful for the insights he shares in Love Has A Name. If you take the time to read this book, you'll grow closer to Jesus.

Love Has A Name is deceptively easy to read. It is even harder to implement. It our day of partisanship, harsh lines, bitter rhetoric, and social media overload, Adam Weber lays out a clear case for love as the motivating force in the church.
“Do people know what you’re for or do they just know what you’re against?”
“It’s a lot easier to recognize the Pharisee in others than it is in yourself.”
“Love notices people. It calls them by name.”
“Do the people who disagree with you still enjoy being with you?”
It those statements are easy for you to reconcile, then you probably don’t need the book. For the rest of us, this book can be a force for change in your life. All it takes is a commitment to change. Right now, we could all use a little change—especially in ourselves.
Can’t recommend this book enough....
Get it and read it. You won’t be sorry.

Adam Weber is a new author to me. But Love is not new to me, and I know that love makes such a difference. Brain research is showing that unconditional love intentionally aimed a child, will build stronger neurological connections and heals so much. So a book about learning to love the hard to love. Appealed to me.
Adam Weber's writing style is unique. His tone is informal like he's chatting with his friend, storytelling of real people who have impacted him by showing love, and then connecting those stories to a biblical person and the event in history where Jesus or one of His disciples or another follower, shows love to others in a similar like-minded way. Then explaining the aspect of love that these stories represent while connecting the friend, Biblical people, the aspect of love, and sometimes other examples of people who help to name love by their lives.
He makes his points in a memorable way. It took me a couple of chapters to figure out the template and plan of integrated stories, but I liked it once I could grasp how it all tied together.

I just finished the book. It created an excitement in me to be more diligent in seeking the unseen, taking time to love those around me, realizing that Jesus Loves Me! He will always love me. Adam uses his love of people to make himself available to listen, sometimes in his church, other times at a busy street corner in downtown Sioux Falls, SD. He learns people's names, their stories, and experiences the love of God himself through their encounters. I finished the book, the last chapter, in tears. After many stories of others, Adam reminds us that WE are also loved by Jesus, and Jesus knows our name, our story. It was as though I heard that Jesus loves me for the very first time. That is far from the truth, but in times like this we need to know we are loved completely by someone who's love for us will never change. His name is Jesus. I'm so glad I bought the book. You will be, too.

Love certainly does have a name, and that name is Jesus! He portrayed the ultimate display of love when the nails were driven through his hands and feet at the cross...for US, for our sins. But that kind of love just does not come naturally to most of us in our human state. Not even with those closest to us often times. Through a series of impactful stories and humorous will, Adam Weber unpacks the very nature of what love is, why it is so important to live it out, and how we do that–no matter what and no matter who? Sound impossible? I thought so too, until I read this book. Adam gives us crucial, practical, and attainable ways to love others fully and genuinely even in the hardest of situations. This book will help you not only see love in a while new way, but it will help you to love others to a degree you never thought you were capable of!

In his second book, following his 2017 release “Talking with God,” Adam Weber once again delivers a thoughtful, down-to-earth, conversational approach to interacting well with other people. In “Love Has A Name” Weber turns each chapter into a story about real human beings, real interactions, and how he learned from each one. Each individual person/chapter became another opportunity for Weber to not only learn to love, show compassion, exercise empathy, but also the opportunity for him to grow into a more Christian, more Christ-centered person. In a similar way to his first book, Weber weaves humor, emotion, difficult situations, and other personal accounts to connect with the reader and create a beautiful, yet vulnerable place, to learn and grow. Do you want to take some steps towards loving more like Jesus? Then this book is a welcomed and non-intimidating place to start.

Love Has a Name by Adam Weber is not just another Christian self help book. I am gonna be honest here. I don't read non fiction, like hardly ever. I must be attention deficit because unless it's a great love story, someone gets kidnapped, or a lot of suspenseful action, I fall asleep. But, and I mean this is a big BUT, I read the blurb and I thought hmm, I'll give it a go. Because Jesus. I love Jesus and I love that he taught in parables. (thus probably my addiction to reading Christian fiction stories) Adam Weber wrote this with a lot of stories. Yay me! I love to read stories and this book opened up to me ways that I can love and be more like Jesus in every day life. My goal is to make a conscious effort to LOVE those around me in my family, in the line at the store, or those waiting my table at a restaurant like never before. Everyone has a name and everyone should know THE name. The name above all names... JESUS. Get this book and learn to love like Jesus and be blessed.

It's so easy to say "I love you." But, is it easy to mean it? I mean REALLY mean it? We all know it's not. In this book, Adam Weber uses personal stories, humor and, most importantly, the life of Jesus to explain what love truly is. The author uses names - people he's encountered - and there is no doubt that when you read these stories, someone you know will pop into your head. We have all encountered a "Mark" or a "Captain" and those folks are not easy to love. But...hopefully....we've also all had a friend like "Jake" or a soulmate like "Becky" that show us love. Pairing his own stories with lessons from the Bible, the author reveals in plain language the lessons Jesus taught about love. This is not a one-time read...it will become a reference book you can use over and over!
August 28, 2020
In his "Love Has a Name: Learning to Love the Different, the Difficult & Everyone Else," Adam Weber challenges us to love like Jesus does... and to do so by knowing people's stories. Weber describes his personal experiences with people who have loved him and people who he is learning to love. Take the time and get to know someone you don't already know. Be that person who loves others despite his or her religion, skin color or social standing. Loving like Jesus does won't always be easy and may in fact prove to be difficult more often than not, but in doing so, you'll be reminded that LOVE has a name... and it is JESUS.
August 28, 2020
I do not normally do a lot of reading. Let's be honest, I don't like to read. Adam Weber has written this easy to read book on what Love is, and that is God. He took what God wants all of us to do, Love one another as He has loved us, and put it into this amazing book. There is not better time than right now that this book came into our lives. There are so many different ways you can show Love to one another, we just have to do it. We are all so very different but created in the image of God. Please get this book, read it, apply it every day. Your life and everyone you encounter will change...for the good.

No matter what walk of life you are on, “Love Has a Name” by Adam Weber shares stories that will warm your heart and encourage you to love others well and truths that will show you that you are loved.
In this book he easily could have told us all the stories about how he has loved well, but instead, Adam shows examples of ways he has been loved well and ways in which he is learning to love others. Moving this book beyond just a feel-good novel to read over Chicken Soup, Adam has paired this with examples of loving relationships in the Bible, so we can see not only how Jesus has taught us to love, but to see how the Bible can be lived out in our lives today.
If you are looking for love…this book is for you.
If you wanted to be reminded there are still loving people in this world…this book is for you.
If you want to love others better…this book is for you.

Adam Weber book is launching today!!!
I am in the depths of reading each chapter. Chapter 9 hit me to the core because as a parent I have had my own red shoe incident too many times and I found myself in tears of how his own children responded to him and that in fact within their own ways my own children endless give me love and grace without conditions... yet on the flip side I don’t give that same respect when I am hurt by someone... I can’t get past it and find a way to love them just they way they are... love like Jesus does...
This one quote stopped me in my tracks...
“You might want to start treating the most important people in your life like they’re the most important instead of the least” wow just wow Adam!! Thank you for writing this incredible book!!!
Go get your copy of love has a name

Love Has a Name is the perfect book for this season. It is a simple read about something that is not always so simple. As Adam Weber points out sometimes it is because we make it more complicated than it needs to be. Weber takes the reader on an adventure to meet many people throughout his life that have taught him to love, some by example and some by challenging him. This book is a reminder of what it looks like to love like Jesus with no agenda. The wonderful thing is, as we offer love we are also given so many gifts. I highly recommend this book as a reminder and encourager of what loving like Jesus looks like, and how to walk it out.
August 27, 2020
Speaking only for myself, this book hits my soul, my heart, my everything to the core. I am a solid 2 on the enneagram, aside from the tone of religion and learning to love like Jesus, this book is for any and everyone. Adam shares personal stories that are easy to connect with and see perspective of someone not only just sharing the different ways to love and be loved and it’s nothing short of encouraging. I hope the best for this book and that it brings about more love in world that desperately needs it. Can not recommend enough, is there a 6th star somewhere ?
August 28, 2020
Reading Love Has a Name feels like having a friend remind us that we can BE love and change the world one person at a time. We are given vivid stories from the author’s life and Scripture demonstrating ways to love people - “the different, the difficult and everyone else.” We are led to love like the one whose name is Love, Jesus!
If you want an extra treat, get the Audible version, read by the author, too. His enthusiasm is contagious and his message is wonderful. You will be encouraged and inspired.

Another fantastic book by Adam Weber. In this book about loving the different and oftentimes difficult, his writing is so heartfelt and sincere, funny, and truthful, even if it's something you don't want to admit is true about yourself or how you love others. Loved each chapter about the people/places that have shown the author love. I laughed, cried, and just truly enjoyed. Go buy this book!! Buy a copy for a friend, relative, or stranger. It is truly a gift in this moment when our world is full of chaos and division.
August 28, 2020
The book, Love Has A Name, couldn’t have been released in a better season of my life, especially how the world is now. We are so quick to judge, so quick to speak, so quick to walk away when we need to stretch out our hand and be there for those we do not want to be there for. Love like Jesus loves. Live how Jesus lived. We were fearfully and wonderfully made from God’s hands and we need to love ourselves, our quirks, our tendencies, in order to love others the way he does. Love does have a name and the name is Jesus and You
August 28, 2020
This book is a must read! It talks about relatable moments of life- Good, bad and ugly. How God shows us love through all those experiences and how we should be applying that love to others. It helps you open your eyes and heart to what the world needs more of. It's a book that doesn't make you feel bad about who you are or your life experiences but helps you realize to embrace them and the love that comes out of each of them!

Adam Weber has hit upon the key to loving God, ourselves, and other people.
When we take time to know other people by name and have even a small thumb-
nail sketch of their amazing stories then we enter a deeper relationship with them.
Relationship is the key to each of us loving each other.
Pastor Adam, uniquely, highlights each of his memorable relationships, some more
challenging than others and identifies the characteristics of each of his beloved
relations. Jesus exemplified the, God given, gift of having relationships with those
who are around us. We are then asked by God to go and do likewise.
May the Lord bless us and the people who we love in true human relationship.
In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
Rev. Francis Bertrand

who are around us. We are then asked by God to go and do likewise.
May the Lord bless us and the people who we love in true human relationship.

I have always enjoyed Adam’s writing, preaching, and visiting with him personally. He is one of the most down-to-earth, authentic pastors I have met. In this latest book, Adam talks about love being like a coin, how fans are fickle, and arrogance & obsessions – and that is just the opening few chapters. He asks in Chapter 5 if we have ever been misunderstood or have had a season when you did not know who was there for you and who was not. I think Adam described my entire last year – and to know that through my connection with Jesus, I to take the journey to learn to love the different, the difficult, and everyone else.

August 27, 2020The most difficult commandment to follow is to Love Others. It is so easy to not love someone when we dehumanize them. When we think of them as objects or pawns in the game of life. God calls us to love each and every person. In Adam Weber's "Love Has a Name," Adam challenges the readers to get to know the story of all the people they meet. By knowing their story and name, readers are called out of dehumanization and into love. If you are struggling to love others, this is a great book to pick up.
