THE STORY BEHIND THE BOOK

Reflections on the Names of God: 180 Devotions to Know God More Fully

“Can you imagine what will happen if you spend time, day by day, focusing on your God and Father? May Ava’s devotional drive you to His Word so you can search Him out for yourself.” ~ Kay Arthur, Founder, Precept Ministries International

Reflections on the Names of God: 180 Devotions to Know God More Fully is an abridged gift book edition of the original one-year devotional, Daily Reflections on the Names of God.

This gift book contains a collection of devotions about the nature and ways of our awesome God. It includes sixty different names and attributes of God with three devotions for each one. Each set of three explores who God says He is, how this name or attribute changes us, and how this also changes our relationships.

MY REVIEW ****

I was given a copy for my honest opinion. 

This book would make a great gift for anyone on your list including yourself. I found Ava’s explanation of the Hebrew, Greek, and English names of God to be not only educational but edifying as well. How much more we appreciate our Savior’s interventions on our behalf as we learn what his name means. Ava takes sixty names and applies them to three sequential devotions. Each devotion comes with a Scripture reference, a prayer, and a challenge. 

I liked that Ava did not just use the Old Testament names. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.”  He also said, “I am the Good Shepherd.” Ava explores the New Testament names Christ gives for himself … which are by virtue of Jesus as the Incarnate Son … the same names for God. “I and the Father are One.”

I recommend this book.
