Select Format Show This is an amazing book on the names of God!!!Published by Reggie , 3 months ago Everyone seeking to KNOW HIM❤️ Excellent StudyPublished by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago Studying the names of God is a great way to increase your love and devotion to Him, and this easy workbook will help you. Kay style of teaching allows you to discover the truth from Scripture for yourself instead of taking her word for it. The result is an exciting, multi-week focus on the God who gives us life and peace. He is worth knowing intimately!There's also a beautiful coffee table version of this book, re-edited for crisper text and illustrated by Timothy Botts. If it's still in print, it's worth seeking out. A Great StudyPublished by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago I would recommend this study for a Christian of any level. In the western world, names are not as significant as they are in the middle eastern culture. Consequently, names don't mean as much to us as they possibly should.This study takes you through, not only the names that God has been given by Himself and others, but WHY those particular names are used. Kay Arthur's books do not just tell you why, she has questions that are designed for you to go and learn for yourself. This is a great study method for both individual and group study. This way the knowledge actually becomes part of you. For the beginning Christian, this study helps you to learn more of God, His faithfulness, His characteristics, and such. This makes your personal relationship with Him all the richer. This also holds true for the more mature Christian. This is a study that does take some time, thought, research, and reading. But the most important part of this study (and any study that a Christian does) is prayer. Then you are inviting God to make Himself better known to you.This study does take a commitment of time and energy. If you are looking for a study that makes you dig into your Bible in a deeper manner, get this one. You will be richly rewarded for the effort that you put into it. By the time that you are prayerfully done, God will be even more personal to you. Christ's words of John 15:15, "...I call you friends." will be even more of a reality of your life with Him. to know Him is to love himPublished by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago This book helped me to come to know God more intimately. Such an intense study of the character, nature and attributes of God...that help those who want to know God up close and personal. Kay Arthur gave us the means to know that God is more than just a name, but His omnipotence is real, His omnipresence beyong what can be fathomed. In the Old Testament His people called on Him by His many names and it helped to understand how God is there in every aspect and every detail of our lives. This study was well written and delivers one into an arena that leaves you wanting to know more about the One True God. Will greatly enhance your understanding of God...Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago Studying what God says about Himself, based on the names He uses for Himself in the Bible, is not only very enlightening, but also really helps you to know that you are not putting your faith in an abstract God, but in a multi-dimensional God of great power and love, who is completely worthy of our love and devotion and is fully capable of caring for those He created, us. This book highly recommended!Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago In this book, Ms. Arthur provides studies that help the reader to understand the meaning of severalnames used in the Bible to refer to God. Each study provides exercisesthat help the reader to examine the accompanying passage of Scripture, understand how a particular name for God is evident in the passage, and explore what the passage means for the reader personally. This is a good study book for those who study alone as well as for groups.

Feb 24, 2011 Kelli rated it really liked it Knowledgable. Going thru this devotional is very interesting and the text in the bible that is provided flows really well with what Kay Arthur is talking about. The names of God is something that has always been fascinating, and this just makes you love each name much more than before.
excellent book learning the attributes(names) of God and how they affect our lives.
Huge for me. Aided me in my change from fearful person, to not so fearful, God trusting person. Gave me a better understanding of how great/powerful God is.
Mar 07, 2009 Susie rated it it was amazing What a GREAT Bible Study and a wonderful group of people. My relationship with Jesus Christ is the best it has ever been.
May 31, 2017 Cheryl rated it it was amazing What an incredible study!!! Walks you through the Hebrew names of God and how they were first introduced and understood by the Israelites. But builds the meaning into modern day Christ followers as well! Each one touched me deeper, bringing back memories of my life where God was faithful and revealed His nature to me. Ending with Jehovah-shammah and looking forward to the eternal kingdom when "the Lord is there!" Col 3:1-2 Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.

I have done considerable research on the names of God in the Bible including reading about a dozen of the best books on the subject. Kay Arthur's book is among the best (see
my other reviews to find out which ones I consider to be best). Kay Arthur is interested in more than simply a study of names; she wants people to grow in relationship with the Lord. Her book facilitates that well.
Apr 23, 2015 Susan Webb rated it it was amazing I love re-reading this book. The names of God are plentiful and this book touches on a few, but it is powerful.
A very timely study for this season to draw in as the time draws near.
Apr 22, 2019 Kim Swartz rated it it was amazing An excellent guide to knowing the names of the Lord on a personal basis.
Sep 06, 2020 Robin Sampson rated it it was amazing Excellent! I have a dozen books on the names of God and this is one of the best.
Nov 03, 2021 Kim N rated it it was amazing I LOVE studying the names of God! Knowing His Name, helps us understand and know Him better. The more we know him, the more we can trust Him! Highly recommend.
I really got a lot out of this devotional! Such great material. I will definitely be revisiting this one!

This was chosen for an adult Sunday School class I have been taking. It is boring, and spouts a thoughtless fundamentalist theology.

Kay Arthur is known for her Precept Upon Precept method, which I have done a bit of, but not much. Perhaps you would get more out of this study if you are already a disciple of her system. For myself, I believe there are better books out there on the names of God.
Kay Aruthur is excellent and this is not one of her inductive Bible studies so you don't need to know how to do those in order to go through this. I went through this for the second time with a small group and it was much more meaningful having others' input. We did this right after Edward Welch's When People are Big and God is Small. It was an awesome thing to read after learning about how much I feared people instead of God.

This was hard to rate. I loved learning more about the names of God. She has some great information and powerful insights. But I don't like how she can get off topic and tie the name to some issue (like
salvation). Great info. But I just really wanted to be in the text to know the name + historical context. 5 stars when she's on topic. 2 stars when off topic (1/2 the book could have been cut). I got bored too. Had to work hard to finish. Companion videos same review. Some simmered with power, ot Companion videos same review. Some simmered with power, others I could barely focus.

Jul 26, 2009 Susan rated it it was amazing I couldn't put this one down. I think I finished the whole study in 3 days. I liked it so much I bought one for a friend of mine, used the information in this book to make daily prayer cards using the names of God as a gift for my mother then kept it for myself. She'll just have to wait til I get another creative urge. You will be glad you picked this one up. I did several other Kay Arthur studies after completing this one. I couldn't put this one down.

Dec 31, 2011 Jennifer rated it really liked it Kay Arthur's "LORD" studies, especially this one, are a great introduction to the inductive study method. This book takes you through several of God's names, outlining His character and our response. Kay brings you right to the Word of God and helps you dig into it. I really enjoyed this study and learning more about God's character. Originally I did the study in a group, but it would be fine to do this study by yourself.

Our discussion have been good and this is an atypical Kay Arthur book as it does not tons of homework that folks do not have time for. Our group is from various denominations and so the discussion part of the names of God has been dynamic. The best part is the tenderness and personal application of what the names mean to draw you closer to who God is to you. I'm doing this as a Bible study with 3 other ladies.

Nov 07, 2012 Ashleigh rated it really liked it My understanding of who God is has expanded so much through this great study. Each name share a different attribute of who God has revealed himself to be through his word. I skipped Jehovah Rapha, The Lord our Healer, because I don't agree with the author's view of healing sin sickness primarily and not physical healing. To me, this take is faith weakening, not building. Other than that, I would recommend this as a valuable study for any serious student of the Word.

May 19, 2014 Isis Lee rated it it was ok I read this for a Bible study. I don't think it lends itself well to group discussion but to be fair we got off track a lot. I think this book took an interesting topic and made it boring by being very repetitive and asking questions that were so simple that you over think them to the point of annoyance because it seems so basic it makes no sense to even be asked as a question.

Kay Arthur does an ok job in this book. I am not sure if it is the format or style, but the topic is by far one of the best you could study. About 4/5ths of the way through it became interesting, and I am not sure why. Overall, because of the ending I give it 3 out of 5 stars. God's many names reveal so much of His person, and she really helped me in the study of His name being Jealous and the illustration God gave to the prophet Ezekiel. Some study helps are to be found throughout the book. Kay Arthur does an ok job in this book. I am not sure if it is the format or style, but the topic is by far one of the best you could study.

Jun 19, 2017 Melissa rated it liked it Having encountered Kay Arthur's style of Bible study - which I really don't like- I also found this book., despite the topic, to be very boring. I'm a heavy reader but something about this was dry and the main reason I wanted to finish it was to get it off my shelf. I also did not like the study questions. Instead of an enjoyable read, this occasionally felt like dreaded homework. Surely there is a better book out there on the names of God.

Dec 04, 2008 Serri rated it it was amazing This was a fantastic study that you can easily do on your own or with a group. Each day you study the different names of the Lord and what those names mean in application to your life, for instance, Elohim (the Creater), El Roi (the God who sees), Jehovah-jireh (the Lord will provide), Jehovah-raah (the Lord is my shepherd), Jehovah-shammah (the Lord is there), and others.
Apr 19, 2009 Katie Shuck rated it really liked it In typical Kay Arthur fashion, this book is one that causes you to look deeper into the meanings of all words used to describe God - and the contexts in which they are used. It is not a book to read if you don't have time to study. I'd highly recommend reading it with a group of friends so that you can truly discuss the questions that arise.

Apr 03, 2011 Elaine rated it it was amazing We read this in our Ladies Neighborhood Bible Study Group. Found it most interesting the different names for God, the various meanings, how they related to our daily lives and to Biblical History, etc. We meet every two weeks and we did a chapter at each meeting. Long Chapter two meetings. So took almost a year to read it.
Aug 22, 2012 Shanna rated it really liked it This is one of the best devotionals I have done in a long time. Each chapter spoke to me, and I felt like everything was applicable to my life. There is definitely freedom in declaring the names of the Lord and in understanding the specificities of his name. I rarely recommend a devotional, but I certainly recommend this one.
