His Names Are Wonderful

In the Western world, names are often chosen because they`re cute or because parents hope their children might aspire to be like a namesake, perhaps even a Bible figure. Yet, names in the Bible were often chosen to communicate something about a person . . . especially God`s names. In Exodus 3:13-­22, Moses asks God what his "name" is. Was he merely asking what he should call God? No--he was asking, "Who are you? Describe yourself." And God did just that, offering Moses a wonderful description, not just of his name, but of his nature. In Hebrew thought, a name did more than identify a person; it revealed their identity. God`s identity is expressed not in one name, but in many. This book uncovers the treasures in God`s names, grouping 140 names into eight sections Almighty - Father - Redeemer - Shepherd Spirit - Truth - Defender - Faithful
