About the Book

Is your knowledge about God getting in the way of knowing God? Many of us feel it: a faith that's rich in doctrine but poor in direct experience. Our minds are filled with correct concepts, but our hearts remain untouched. We believe in God, but we long to encounter Him. The early Church Fathers knew of this subtle spiritual pitfall-the danger of worshipping our ideas about God instead of God Himself. They warned against mistaking the road sign for the destination. This book is not a rejection of tradition, but a courageous journey back to its mystical heart. Drawing on the profound wisdom of the apophatic saints, Beyond the Name offers a path to move from a faith of the head to a faith of the heart. It's a guide to dismantling the temporary scaffolding of our concepts so we can finally enter the cathedral of Divine Presence. In this transformative book, you will discover how to: Learn the "way of negation" to gently clear away false mental images of God and make space for a genuine encounter. Transform the doctrine of the Trinity from a confusing puzzle into a dynamic map for your spiritual life: the Path (Father), the Guide (Son), and the Presence (Spirit). See all sacred forms-Scripture, rituals, even dogma itself-not as the final destination, but as holy "wayside tents" meant to be passed through on your journey Home. Move beyond theory with practical steps for prayer and contemplation that foster a direct, living connection with the Divine. This book is for the devout Christian who feels spiritually stuck; for the student of theology who seeks the heart behind the intellect; and for any spiritual seeker who is drawn to the profound, mystical depths of the Christian path. If you are ready to stop studying the road sign and start the journey Home, this book is your guide.
