Produktbeschreibung

"Leaves no 'stone' unturned in its author's search for names, titles and descriptions of the persons of the Trinity found in the Bible." -Ronald F.Youngblood, American biblical scholar and general editor of Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary The names of God are like a rainbow-each name expresses part of the spectrum of the character and attributes of God. Along the way, the author tenderly answers tough questions: Which of the Hebrew names of God is His personal name-Yahweh or Jehovah? What does it mean to pray in Jesus' name? How can we relate to the Holy God and the Judge? Why is a God of love called the "Jealous God?" What does it mean to call Jesus the Messiah? The Name Quest mentions all the names of God in the Bible while explaining their significance in ordinary language. "No one has ever met God completely or exhaustively. But God invites you to know Him. Like a clear trail in a forest, the names of God lead you deeper into the heart of God. In his book, The Name Quest, John Avery leads us deeper into God's heart. Enjoy the journey!" -Floyd McClung, International Director, All Nations. "What's in a name? John Avery takes us on the ultimate exploration of the Ultimate Name. With both exhaustive research and engaging narrative, John's work and wit will be a blessing to any sojourner's quest. Layperson, teacher, and serious seeker alike will be challenged and edified." -Sam Skillern, Salem Leadership Foundation " The Name Quest, is both light heartedly delightful and deeply thoughtful. It engages the theological mind with a fresh and lively tone." -Cheryl Bear-Barnetson, Native Musician and Foursquare Pastoral Overseer, Canada
