Hallowed Be Thy Name

Names are important in our culture. Families take great pains to name their children, often honoring previous relatives or friends who have made a difference in their lives. We even develop nicknames that express a persons character or the relationship we have with friends and family members, and we take great care when naming a child. It should be no surprise, then, that the names of God are just as important. Yet the Hebrew words for His names are most often just translated as God in English. Thus, we miss the fervor associated with each name unless we also happen to study the Hebrew text.In Hallowed Be Thy Name: The Psalms, author Misti Stevens invites believers to know God by all His names so that we too can forge a special relationship with our Father in heaven. She offers a faithful translation and commentary of the book of Psalms, where Gods names appear over 1,200 times in distinct forms and with distinct meaningsthe God of Jacob, Adonai, Yahweh, Elohim, the Mighty God, the Great I AM, and more. Through a simple presentation of the text of Psalms with the meanings of names substituted in, you will be given a rich, meaningful look into who God isand have the chance to draw closer to Him. We can hardly say we know someone if we dont know them by name. So how well do you know God?
