Praying the Names of God

As I post prayers on our Prayer Chain I like to include the names of God related to the type of prayer that I am writing - this is a simple compilation, easy to search through, and a good resource for prayer warriors.

not in good condition

Extensive writing with colored markers on EVERY page makes this copy very difficult to read.

Absolutely Insightful!

This book is awesome if you are interested in strengthening your prayer time with God! Since I have been reading this book, praying, and logging in my journal.. I have seen answers to prayers! My faith is strengthened daily as God's promises are fulfilled. I encourage EVERYONE to buy this book. Open your hearts, minds, souls (and bibles) and you will truly be blessed!

Awesome God Connection!

This book allows you to grow even closer to God and understand even more of His multifaceted being. It is an awesome daily read allowing you to experience it in your life as you read through it rather than rush your way through it! Very practical, easy read! ENJOY !

Inspirational, informative, humbling, highly recommended

Every once in a while a book comes along with a deceptively simple title that gives no hint of the much deeper and inspirational thoughts inside. This is one of those books. Throughout the Old Testament God is referred to by various names. Each one represents a specific attribute of God that is particularly relevant to those circumstances. Taken together these names reveal the nature of God and point to ways to see and seek Him as well as understand our relationship with Him. This book is insightful, encouraging, and inspirational while at the same time moving your prayer life up to another level. Full of Bible references, Praying the Names of God is highly recommended and sure to bring a deeper understanding of God to the reader. The only thing about the book that some may find troublesome is the lack of capitalization on all personal pronouns related to God. While God, Lord, and other references are capitalized, Him, His, and He are not. Some more conservative readers may have a problem with this. My advice to them is to not let something like this cause them to miss a very good book.

Eloi, Eloi

There are many devotionals on the market. My favorite is Utmost for His Highest. This one is different but as rewarding and well worth the read. Ann Spangler gets personal with His Highest: El Shadday, Elohim, Adonay in a memorable way. In one chapter the lesson is about Elohim [e-lo-HEEM]- God's name as creator. Here Ms. Spangler gives a scriptural accounting of the creative aspect of God. Each successive week is devoted to then another one of God's names (i.e. Elam: a name apprearing over 400 times which translates as "eternal," "everlasting," "forever."). Each week is broken into 5 short daily lessons to help you meditate on the particular understanding of God. In this regard,you begin to ask yourself the question, "how do we respond when people take the initiative to call us by our name?" I think Ms. Spangler has written a very special book that invites everyone to get to know their God not a little, but a lot better - that is, on a first name basis.
