One of the best ways to get to know God on a deeper level is to know his names and titles as revealed in Scripture. Now the bestselling author of Praying the Names of God and Praying the Names of Jesus uncovers the richness of God's character and love found in his names right within the Bible text.
It appears that the arrival of this Bible was in perfect time, for I have been sensing God asking me study His names.
The original Hebrew names have been inserted where we are used to only seeing the translations "Lord" or "God" adding a richness not found in other editions. I find myself understanding in a more profound way aspects of God's character. There is a page on each of God's names that mention key places in scripture where the name is used, backgound information and other specifics connected to the name.
One of my favourite features is the marked reading path for each name that leads me from the first passage where the name is revealed to the next and the next and so on. I will find this useful as I plan to study each name, in depth.
I find the God's Word translation refreshing and the overall layout and print easy to read.
If you are searching for a way to draw closer to Yahweh, this should prove to be a helpful resource.
