Names of God  by Nathan Stone

“Indeed we cannot say all that the mysterious Word God means to us until we know more about Him.” — Nathan J. Stone 
"God’s many names reveal not only different dimensions of His character but also point to their fulfillment in the Person and work of Jesus Christ. This insightful little book accurately and clearly works through the many names of God throughout the Old Testament. We can now see God in new lights and angles as we learn of His justice, His unbounded love, His preeminence, and His character—all through His names. This book has sold over 400,000 copies." --goodreads

The Names of God  by Ken Hemphill

"What's in a name? When the Bible speaks of God, the name used holds more significance than you ever knew. ​
The Names of God by Ken Hemphill
Buy now on Amazon
For example, the very first reference to God in Genesis 1:1—the name Elohim—teaches and reveals the triune nature of God. We are commanded to honor the name of God, but to do that adequately, we must understand the inherit greatness of the names which God uses to refer to Himself.

Ken Hemphill takes the reader through an in-depth devotional study of the names of God, teaching the significance of each name and the keys it possesses to growing us in relationship with God. God's names are not only our protection but also reveal the very nature of God Himself. This is why we are to honor His name." --goodreads

The Names of God  by Ann Spangler

The Names of God: 52 Bible Studies for Individuals and Groups offers a unique approach to Bible study by presenting a 52-week study focusing on the names and titles of God and of Jesus, one designed to help readers experience the Lord in fresh and deeper ways.
By studying such rich and varied names as Adonay, El Shadday, Abba, Yeshua, Lamb of God, and Prince of Peace, readers will encounter a God who is utterly holy, powerful, surprising, merciful, and loving.

Each week’s study includes:
  • Background information to help readers understand the name
  • A key Scripture passage in which the name was first or most significantly revealed
  • A series of questions for individual or group study
  • A list of Bible passages for further reflection
Based on Praying the Names of God and Praying the Names of Jesus but containing additional questions for reflection and study, this unique Bible study is designed to help individuals and groups explore the most important of God’s names and titles as they are revealed in the Bible.

Praying The Names of God  by Ann Spangler

"A twenty-six-week devotional study by the bestselling coauthor of Women of the Bible. Names in the ancient world did more than simply distinguish one person from another, they often conveyed the essential nature and character of a person. This is especially true when it comes to the names of God recorded in the Bible.
Praying The Names of God by Ann Spangler
Buy now on Amazon
​Praying the Names of God explores the primary names and titles of God in the Old Testament to reveal the deeper meanings behind them. El Shaddai, Elohim, Adonai, Abba, El Elyon—God Almighty, Mighty Creator, Lord, Father, God Most High—these are just a few of the names and titles of God that yield rich insights into His nature and character.
 
Praying the Names of God shows readers how to study and pray God’s names by focusing each week on one of the primary names or titles of God:
  • Monday—readers study a portion of Scripture that reveals the name.
  • Tuesday–Thursday—readers pray specific Scripture passages related to the name.
  • Friday—readers pray Scripture promises connected to the name.
By incorporating the divine names and titles into their prayers—and learning about the biblical context in which the name was revealed—readers will gain a more intimate understanding of who God is and how He can be relied on in every circumstance of their lives.
Praying the Names of God is a unique devotional, one that offers a rich program of daily prayer and study designed to lead people into fresh encounters with the living God." --goodreads

​The Heart That Heals: Healing Our Brokenness Through the Promises of God

If you love studying the names of God, as I do, you're going to also enjoy learning about the promises of God, and that's what The Heart That Heals is all about!
The Heart That Heals banner
The Heart That Heals is a book I wrote for you, for your mom, your sisters, the girls in your small group or Bible study and the women you work with every day. Basically, I wrote this book for every one of us, because we all need to be reminded from time to time of the promises of God.
The Heart That Heals
available at Amazon
Read Chapter 1 For Free Today!
Two things I want today:
  1. I want you to thrive, live good days and love life, but most of all I want you to love God!
  2. I want to see how God changes lives through this book.

Are you looking for fresh, Scripture-based material for your women's small group or Bible study? This 10-week study covers issues we all face and issues we all need help with.

If you and I were Pen Pals, The Heart That Heals is the letter I would write to you if you’d lost a child, a husband, a best friend, or a sister. It’s the kind of letter I would seal with a heart-shaped sticker that says, God Loves You, you know, that kind of sticker you used to get in Sunday school. You’d read my letter and you’d know, yes, you would know, He truly loves me! ​
The Heart That Heals: Healing Our Brokenness Through the Promises of God is available exclusively at Amazon in paperback and Kindle. Hope is written here. Love happens here. Friendship is born here. Community begins here. Bring your coffee. Pull up a chair. Join us!

Studying those important epithets of God touch my heart and give me more ammunition to use in my prayer and intercession for others. These names help me focus on the magnificent and great unique character of Father God. There is another Hebrew word for God HaShem which is very popular among Jews.
