Have you ever wondered what the Old Testament - especially the Old Testament law - has to do with your Christian life?
You are not alone. Some Christian leaders believe we should cast off the Old Testament now that we have the New. Carmen Joy Imes disagrees.
In this warm, accessible volume, Imes takes listeners back to Sinai, the ancient mountain where Israel met their God, and explains the meaning of events there. She argues that we've misunderstood the command about "taking the Lord's name in vain." Instead, Imes says that this command is about "bearing God's name," a theme that continues throughout the rest of Scripture. Listeners will revisit the story of Israel as they trudge through the wilderness from a grueling past to a promising future. The story of Israel turns out to be our story too, and you'll discover why Sinai still matters as you follow Jesus today.

I first heard Carmen Joy Imes speak during the 2019 Naked Bible Conference. After watching her presentation I was sold. I bought the audiobook and started listening immediately I was not disappointed.
Carmen did her doctoral work studying this exact commandment and as she has said multiple times after finishing her doctorate she wanted to put something out, that could be put in the hands of anybody in the church and make an impact as well as educate them on what it really means to Bear the LORD's name. In my opinion she fully succeeded in that goal! This book is extremely readable and yet very profound. Bearing God's name is a book that takes a teaching that you glaze over in life because you think you understand, and it breaks it wide open, showing you how important this single command is, and in the process showing you how the old testament is a perfect learning ground to show us How Great our God and Jesus are.
I would recommend Bearing God's name to pretty much anyone in the Christian faith, especially anyone who struggles with how the old testament fits with our faith, But also to well versed Bible nerds anywhere on the knowledge spectrum, you will love this book!
