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.

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.

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!!)

This is an easy to read book that is very powerful. It opened my eyes spiritually and has drawn me closer to God.

Unbelievable how much you can learn about our God. This is a wonderful book and you can put it to use right away. Now when I pray my understanding is deepen more. Knowing Gods character and names go hand in hand is wonderful.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and have given it to several friends and family members as gifts. It was a great study on the Names of God, and made me want to study more!

When this book was first published years ago, I did not purchase it as I had studied the names of God and thought this book would be repeated material. How wrong I was. A friend asked me to read it and talk with her about it. I reluctantly said yes. And was I glad. What life-giving, hope-filling, joy-bringing words are written in this book that I know I will read over and over. Each page is packed with thoughts from the heart of God that should never be forgotten.

The book arrived quickly and was in perfect condition. I wanted to study and know the names of God to enhance my prayer time.
