Receiving His Name: The Covenant Journey of Becoming (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798250723114)

What does it truly mean to take upon ourselves the name of Jesus Christ?

For most disciples, it feels like a metaphor, something we affirm at the sacrament table but rarely understand in full. Yet across the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and modern revelation, scripture reveals something far more literal and profound: the 200+ names of Jesus Christ are not theological labels to admire. They are a divine curriculum for becoming like Him.

In Receiving His Name, Kevin Kline Ball explores how the sacred names of Christ - Redeemer, Shepherd, Light, Deliverer, Advocate, and many more - each mark a specific divine attribute that disciples are invited to receive through lived covenant experience. Drawing on the Hebrew understanding of names, the sacred structure of the temple endowment, and decades of personal seeking, he reveals how the journey of taking His name upon us is not a ceremony we complete, but a transformation we undergo.

Inside you will discover:

• Why the ancient Hebrew concept of names reveals far more than modern readers realize
• How the temple endowment serves as a divine map of sacred names and spiritual becoming
• Why Christ's names can only be truly received through experience, not study alone
• How mortality's wilderness experiences are the very path by which His names are written upon us

For disciples who sense there is more to the gospel than Sunday School alone covers, more available to us in this life than we dare to hope, this book opens a window into truths that have been present in the gospel all along.

The scriptures reveal the names of Christ. This book invites you to begin receiving them.
