Review # 1 was written on 2019-12-15 00:00:00 Jonathan Villalobos "Often a name provides an important clue to the nature of a person or place." (Lester Sumrall, Names of God) The Author expounds on the names of the Living God, where it is located in the Word of God, what that name means, and how we can use that name to bring victory to our lives. Some of the names of God that the Author expounds upon in this book include: ● Yahweh/Jehovah (The Lord) ● Jehovah/Elohim (The Lord Is God) ● Jehovah-Elyon (The Lord God Most High) ● El-Shaddai (The Almighty God) ● Jehovah-Jireh (The Lord Will Provide) ● Jehovah-Repheka (The Lord Is Healer) ● Jehovah-Tsidqenu (The Lord Is Our Righteousness) ● Jehovah-Tsebaoth (The Lord of Hosts) ● Jehovah-Nissi (The Lord Is Conqueror) ● Jehovah-Shalom (The Lord Is Peace) ● Jehovah-Shamah (The Lord Is There) He says, "If you want to become a serious student of the Word of God, you should be familiar with those Greek and Hebrew names because they contain a wealth of truth about the wonderful God we serve." The chapter that spoke to me personally was Chapter 5: The Almighty God. In this chapter the Author articulates that the name of "God Almighty" or El-Shaddi in the Hebrew, emphasizes God's ability to handle any situation that confronts us. Rather than focusing on ourselves and all our weaknesses, we should focus on the greatness of The Almighty God. He is Almighty God, more powerful than any problem in our lives. He says concerning Satan: "Satan tries to destroy us from within, you see. He can give us physical trouble, and he can give us much opposition in the work we try to do for the Lord. But the front line for the battleground, as far as Satan is concerned is your mind. He knows that if he can defeat your thoughts, he'll defeat your faith. He wants to make you skeptical of God's promises. So he seizes on every setback and problem as an accusation to bring to your mind; he begins whispering doubts in your ear." We would do well to remind ourselves God is the Almighty God. He is bigger that any problem we face and will pull us from the midst of defeat. This book gives us God's names, what those names mean, and how those names give us insight into the wonderful character of God. What a mighty God we serve!

Review # 2 was written on 2020-03-13 00:00:00 Patricia Holt well only sumerall can truly give a first hand teaching like this. this is a book that introduces who God is and how God has always shown up as the God who always does the thing He promises. whether it is justice, healing, peace, comfort, waring on our behalf, providing, etc. there is only one God but he always moves in all areas and all situations this is a great read and one that will defintly charge the believer to believe in God's healing. I recommend this book for all Christians old and new.
