Multicultural, nondenominational, nonsectarian. A modern fable for parents and children.
Everyone and everything in the world has a name. What is God's name? Like an ancient myth in its poetic text and vibrant illustrations, this modern fable about the search for God's name celebrates the diversity and, at the same time, the unity of all the people of the world. Each seeker claims he or she alone knows the answer. Finally, they come together and learn what God's name really is, sharing the ultimate harmony of belief in one God by people of all faiths, all backgrounds.
"After God created the world
all living things on earth
were given a name.
The plants and the trees,
the animals and the fish,
and each person, young and old,
had a special name.
But no one knew the name for God.
So each person searched for God's name."
- from In God's Name
"Provides a wonderful illustration of the many faces through which God is known and understood....Children of all ages will come away with a deeper grasp of God's many-faceted splendor." -The Rt. Rev. Edward W. Jones, DD, Episcopal Bishop of Indianapolis
"After the creation of the world 'no one knew the name for God.' So each person searched,' and some answers are charmingly set against primitive-style illustrations." -The New York Times Book Review
"What a lovely, healing book!" -Madeleine L'Engle
From the award-winning author of God's Paintbrush comes a colorful, spiritual celebration of people everywhere. Like an ancient myth in its poetic text and vibrant illustrations, this modern fable about the search for God's name celebrates the diversity of, and, at the same time, the unity of all people in the world.

reviewed In God's Name on January 08, 2018 In God's Name
This is one of my favorite children's books, with a very serious adult message about the name(s) of G-d. In a gentle way, in a non-judgmental style, Sandy Sasso, the first woman rabbi in the Reconstructionist movement shows how there are many names for G-d, often times based out of our own experience. So for instance, "The farmer whose skin was dark like the rich brown earth from which all things grew, called G-d, 'The Source of Life'".
The illustrations are bright, charming. This book is appropriate for children and I have used it successfully in Hebrew Schools, with kids sitting around a mirror as a lake, in children's services, with adults and with the annual interfaith thanksgiving service. It teaches the message that although there are many names for G-d, there is ultimately only one G-d. Highly recommend.
