Description

God is the Creator of the heavens and the earth, the Alpha and the Omega, the all-loving, forgiving Father and the Great I Am. With such a big God, how can we understand His many facets? One way is through scripture, where God is described in more than 200 unique ways. Praying the Names of God takes these names and makes them personal through heartfelt prayers accompanied by the scriptures where these names of God are found. Inspired by the beloved classic, The Wonderful Names of Our Wonderful Lord, this brand-new book will lead you to a deeper faith in the one true Lord.

I love devotional books, and this one does not disappoint. Beautifully written, carefully constructed to compliment the scriptures. I would recommend this book for any Christian's home library!

The Author utilizes the ACTS model of prayer: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication. I think this is a great model to help one get their prayer life going. I really liked the Adoration section of the book. Most of the readings did a great job of helping me focus on the characteristics of God making it easy to praise Him. The author utilizes scripture from all areas of the Bible in these prayers, which I also enjoyed.

The title indicates “Praying the names of Gods” I didn’t necessarily see that throughout, but that didn’t bother me. She did often utilize different names of God, but the bottom line is she utilized scripture very well and helped me focus on prayer.

She divides the book into sections by Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication. Normally when you use the ACTS model of prayer you go through each section during one prayer session. So the division was a little “weird” to me. BUT I think it would be easy to flip through the different sections to pull out pages to jump start my prayers.

I would definitely give this as a gift to new Christians who may be struggling on how to develop a practice of prayer or struggle with how to pray. I found the prayers flowed very easily. I would also consider gifting this book to seasoned prayer warriors as I think it would offer refreshing times of prayer.

I am voluntarily reviewing a copy of Praying the Names of God through the publisher and Netgalley.

The Bible describes God using over 200 distinct names and this devotional uses those names and descriptions for a devotional.

This book uses individual prayers with those name personalizing each of the Names of God as a basis for a devotional.

I give Praying the Names of God five out of five stars

Happy Reading.
