1-Minute Bible Guide: 180 Key Names of God

In his new book, George W. Knight delivers exactly what the title says— a 1-Minute Bible Guide: 180 Key Names of God. Each short entry focuses on one name of God with a focal verse, a short description or explanation, and also some other passages to learn more. From Abba, Father to Word, 1-Minute Bible Guide: 180 Key Names of God is a handy resource for anyone wanting to get to know God better—through his names. It could be used as a daily devotional, as a reference guide or for worship times, both personal private. The book would also make a great gift for a new believer for a graduate, or any other fitting occasion. My only disappointment in the book is its heavy reliance on the KJV with only a few references with other translations. I believe today’s population would have been better served by a more modern translation as the main translation. Overall thought, this is a great reference or gift book, well worth the money.

Note: I received a copy of the book from the publisher in exchange for this honest review. The opinions expressed are my own.

1-Minute Bible Guide: 180 Key Names Of God by George W. Knight is a great resource for studying the names and attributes of God. This easy to read book covers 180 important names of God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit. Each name includes verses, descriptions and additional references if you want to dig deeper! I recommend this book to anyone who wants to study and know God better.

A fast access to some of the names of God
George W. Knight presents "1-Minute Bible Guide: 180 Key Names of God" which was published by Barbour Books. The names are listed in alphabetical order, but there is no index that shows which names belong to the God the Father, which ones belong to God the Son (Jesus), and which ones belong to God the Holy Spirit. This makes it difficult if one wants to study the names that are used especially for one of the persons of the Trinity. The presentations are very brief, a Bible verse at the top of the page shows where the name is used, followed by an explanation and some more Bible references under the title "Learn More". There is no mentioning of the original Hebrew or Greek names used in the original text. Knight seems to have a generous definition what he considers a key name. He does not mention either why he considers these names to be "Key Names." In my opinion listings such as "All, and in all" (p.14), or "Daysman" (p. 33), are characteristics, some of them, e.g., "Beloved Son" (p.23) or "Christ Crucified" (p.32) put on Jesus by God the Father and are not a name. I recommend the book to those who want to have a brief overview over some of the names of the Trinity, but I do not recommend it for readers who want to study the names of God in more depth since the book does not contain footnotes or references either.
The complimentary copy of this book was provided by the publisher through NetGalley free of charge. I was under no obligation to offer a positive review. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This is a great little devotional book that I actually started using with my teenage daughters. Easy to understand, quick to read, but a powerful impact.
