Publisher's Description
"Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy." —Habakkuk 3:2 My Fame, His Fame is a call for believers to heed the example of the prophet Habakkuk by stepping to their watch on the ramparts and calling for a revelation of God’s mighty acts to be repeated in our time. It is an inspiring reminder that our lives are to be lived for one aim: to increase the fame of the Famous One. Thann presents a radically different—and far better—approach to achieving success in life and you will walk away inspired and equipped to live for the purpose of His fame.

“In an age of platform building and fixation on building one’s own personal ‘brand,’ Thann has given us a refreshing, much needed perspective regarding whose fame we ought to amplify. For it is from, to, and through Jesus Christ alone that are all things. I hope this book gains an audience with leaders especially. May we become larger by becoming smaller in our own eyes, and may we know true exaltation as we humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord, for the advancement of His fame and not our own.”
“We live in a culture obsessed with personal fame—an idol that kills our faith and quenches the potential for miracles in our midst. Jesus said so Himself: ‘No wonder you can’t believe. For you gladly honor each other, but you don’t care about the honor that comes from the One who alone is God’ (John 5:44). If we ever needed to see God’s intervention and to experience His miracle-working power, it’s now. My friend Thann Bennett has written a passionate, powerful appeal to God’s people. It’s time to wake up, consecrate your life, and call on the name of the Lord. This book made me want to stand up and shout, bow low and pray, and believe that God will make Himself known in our day. Don’t miss this timely word.”
“My Fame, His Fame is a wake-up call for Christians, to those of us seeking to know the face of Jesus. It is an invitation to look over into eternity and to call that vision into our here and now.”
“Few people do I trust more to discern the Father’s voice than Thann Bennett. If your chief aim, like his, is to honor God with your life, this book shows you how—brilliantly and plainly explaining what gives our lives lasting, eternal significance: pursuing, partnering with, and pointing to God and His great fame!”
“In a time when platform or influence is an ever-beckoning temptation, this book is a timely reminder about the one name we are supposed to make great. Through Thann’s words, you will be inspired to proclaim the Lord in new and bold ways! What a privilege we have to make His name famous!”
“In a world where making a name for yourself is a common practice and expectation, My Fame, His Fame is a reminder to the believer that our pursuit is not about making our names famous. Thann shows us, through the life of Habakkuk, that humility in spirit and boldness of faith allows God’s power and might to be on full display in our lives.”
“In a culture that seeks two minutes of fame, Thann calls us to something more noble and lasting: a lifetime of making the name of Jesus famous. With a mix of unique biblical study, practical theology, and engaging personal storytelling, My Fame, His Fame gives us permission to be drawn to fame and a blueprint for intertwining our everyday obedience with God’s eternal glory. Bonus: it will make you an expert in the Old Testament prophet Habakkuk.”
