From the Back Cover

God knows your name. Do you know His?

Throughout Scripture we read how men and women faced storms, tests and trials. Many failed; others overcame the buffeting and walked paths of faith and courage. They became convinced of God's protection, care, discipline and loving guidance.

What made the difference?

David Wilkerson teaches that those who were victorious in their struggles discovered a deeper revelation of God's nature and character: They knew Him by name! And we can, too. Weaving biblical teaching and personal anecdotes, Wilkerson shows us what these godly people learned. Offering more than theological comprehension, he will help you get to know your heavenly Father on a heart-to-heart level.

Are you convinced that God holds your life and well-being in your hands? Do you long to know Him as your healer or provider? Can you imagine the peace that comes from the knowledge of His presence? He has pledged to keep you, teach you, put His fear in you, cause you to walk in His ways, give you His Holy Spirit and blot out all your sins and replace them with His lovingkindness. All of this awaits you from the One who longs for you to know Him by name.

5.0 out of 5 stars How God's Names Can Change Your Walk, October 28, 2004

This review is from: Knowing God by Name: Names of God That Bring Hope and Healing (Paperback)

Many Christians fail to study the names of God. They simply love the name Jesus. And while I too love His wonderful name (Isaiah 9:6-7), I also have come to appreciate many of the divine names found throughout the Scriptures in the original languages. Our English translations miss the power of God's names but an in-depth study of the Hebrew and Greek show the power of the names of God.

In this short book David Wilkerson takes the reader on a devotional journey into the heart of God by studying the names of God as He revealed them in the Bible. From Adonai to Elohim to Yahweh to Jehovah-Rapha, Wilkerson challanges his readers to do more than just grasp God's divine names but begin to pray them and put your faith into action. By the end of the book you will fall in your face in worship as you see the power of God's names for our every need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do you know His names?, July 6, 2006

By 

Tee K (Georgia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Knowing God by Name: Names of God That Bring Hope and Healing (Paperback)

The author wrote this book in such simplicity that even a child could understand it. I've attempted to read other books to learn and understand the names of God but I never finished reading them because they were to far over my head. I had to force myself to put this book down so I could absorbed what I read. I thank God for this author and I pray blessing upon his life. This book was truly a blessing to me.

If you want to understand the character of God, read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST of its kind!!!, January 11, 2007

By

This review is from: Knowing God by Name: Names of God That Bring Hope and Healing (Paperback)

There are SO many books on the names of God, but this is one of the best I've ever read. David Wilkerson writes with authority and yet so much heart, and he is no doubt divinely inspired. He goes beyond merely listing or explaining the names-- he gives actual personal revelation of what God is telling us through His names... in a way that is obvious could only come from walking intimately with the Lord. This book will deepen your understanding of God's character and put you in awe of our mighty God. And really, you can't go wrong with any of David Wilkerson's works! (I also recommend his book, "The New Covenant Unveiled" -- not too well-known, but it definitely opened my eyes to a truth that I sure THOUGHT I knew for all of my years following Christ!!)
