Reveals the real, whole name of God and its place within each of us

• Explains how none of the God-names commonly used in the Bible is God’s real name

• Shows how the real name of God unites all religions from both West and East

• Includes spiritual techniques, prayers, poems, and meditative chants to bring each of us into deep, personal, intimate, living relationship with God

Of the many names of God commonly used in the Bible and other sacred literature, none is God’s real name. Every God-name, including YHWH, reflects only one of God’s many aspects, such as the loving creator, the militaristic authoritarian, or the all-knowing judge. None embodies the wholeness, the totality, the full Essence of God. Who then are we to speak to when we seek God? If you can’t truly know something until you know its name, how can we truly know God?

The culmination of years of translation research and etymological investigation, Rabbi Wayne Dosick’s work digs through many layers of presumption and deeply ingrained beliefs to reveal the real name of God hiding in plain sight in the Bible: Anochi. He shows how this sacred name unites all religions—both of the West and the East. The name Anochi enables us to finally meet the whole, complete, real God—both the grand God of the vast universe and the God of breath, soul, and heart who dwells within each of us.

This in-depth exploration of God’s name includes spiritual techniques, poems, guided prayers, and meditative chants to bring each of us into personal, intimate, and purposeful relationship with God. By knowing the real name of God, we can affirm the connection to the Divine at the core of our being. We can touch the face of God that resides deep within us all.

"Rabbi Dr. Wayne Dosick has the extraordinary ability to blend worlds--to balance the rigors of scholarly, measured discourse, while writing as a Rabbi, and being a guide to the soul. "The Real Name of God" is the rare book that introduces the reader to the Blessed Holy One, the sacred Presence that suffuses all life and experience. It is about being ready to say '"Hineini"' (Here am I) to God-knowing that God has already made that commitment to us. The prayers and meditations that Rabbi Wayne has written serve as inspiring and very effective pathways to help us come to God, and surely find a growing sense of spiritual reward. There are many in our contemporary times who are in search of spiritual guidance, but are not willing to sacrifice intellectual integrity. This book will allow the reader to adopt Rabbi Dosick as philosopher, guide, and friend, for he succeeds in speaking to the mind, the heart, and the soul. The world (Jewish and non-Jewish alike) is much richer for Rabbi Dosick's teachings."--Rabbi Samuel Barth, Ph.D., Senior Lecturer in Liturgy and Worship at The Jewish Theological Seminary
