This book has brought hope to my heart, July 10, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: One Hundred Names of God (Paperback)
"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who bringeth good tidings." Indeed this is precisely what Torkom Saraydarian brings in all 258 pages of "100 names of God" .
In his study of world religions, Saraydarian found over 5000 names in many traditions, religions, stories and fairy tales. He never found any culture or society that did not talk about God or about some similar concept.
In this book he devotes 1-2 pages of discussion and interpretation to each of 100 names of God. Some examples are The Compassionate One, The Holy One, The Peace, Th Faithful, the Guardian, The Loving One, the Provider, The Light, The Path.
It is hard to imagine that anyone will read this book and not see the God they worship describe therein. If you envision God as omnipotent, you will find Him described in these pages. Do you think of God as omnipresent? Indeed He will he present throughout this work. Maybe God for you is omniscient? Again you will find many names here which expand your understanding.
This book has brought hope to my heart, inspiration to my mind, beauty to my being, and joy to my soul. I recommend this book to anyone who has reverence for the Most High and wants to abide in that Presence.
