What's in a name? When the Bible speaks of God, the name used holds more significance than you ever knew. For example, the very first reference to God in Genesis 1:1, the name Elohim, teaches and reveals the triune nature of God. God's names are not only our protection but also reveal the very nature of God himself.We are commanded to honor the name of God, but to do that adequately, we must understand the inherit greatness of the names which God uses to refer to himself. Ken Hemphill takes you through an in-depth devotional study of the names of God, teaching the significance of each name and the keys it possesses to growing us in relationship with God.

This book said what was required of it; it took the reference to each name of God in Scripture and explained what it meant. But that's all. Hemphill appears to be an excellent writer, but I was expecting more depth to the book. If you are wanting to know the Hebrew names of God and where they appear in Scripture this is the book for you. I was expecting more insight into the names that I didn't recieve. It was a good book to read though.
