5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Study, May 20, 2001

By 

Dan Cole - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lord, I Want to Know You: A Devotional Study on the Names of God (Paperback)

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.

This review is from: Lord, I Want to Know You (Lord Series) (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Will greatly enhance your understanding of God..., January 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Lord, I Want to Know You (Lord Series) (Paperback)

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.
