Ratings and reviews

I appreciate the author's heart for God and attempt at guiding us to a better understanding of who God is based on what He's revealed through His various names/titles. However, I found this book to be disorganized and difficult to follow. I gleaned very little from its pages beyond a "laundry list" of names. This book doesn't seem to be written to inform, but to impress. I would not recommend it for devotional or in-depth study unless you, too, have a PhD. in literature. I'm very disappointed!

I only can speak for myself. I personally thought that this book was very informative. I believe that this Author wanted the readers to know that she did her homework, she explain the names, there origins and their definitions in not only in American language today, but in Hebrew, and earlier translations, me personally I was very impress! It certainly helped me to understand God, and his names better you don't need a PhD, just a desire to know God better!
