Los nombres de Dios

by Marilyn Hickey

Cada uno de los nombres de Dios revela un maravilloso aspecto de su naturaleza que puede satisfacer sus necesidades más profundas, consolarle en momentos de tragedia personal, y elevarle a nuevas alturas de alabanza en momentos de gozo. Dios es tan vasto que los cielos no pueden contenerle. De igual manera, su personalidad es tan compleja que un solo nombre no puede describirle adecuadamente. A lo largo de la Biblia, Dios se reveló a sí mismo a su pueblo por medio de sus varios nombres. Cuando los israelitas eran temerosos, Dios se reveló a sí mismo como Jehová Salom, que significa “el Señor es mi Paz”. Cuando no estaban seguros de su voluntad, Él se reveló a sí mismo como Jehová Rohi, que significa “el Señor es mi Pastor”. Él también es Jehová Jiré, “el Señor mi Proveedor”, y Jehová Rofe, “el Señor mi Salud”. La práctica enseñanza de Marilyn Hickey sobre diecinueve nombres diferentes de Dios abrirá su apetito para perseguir plenamente el amor de Dios y el propósito que Él tiene para su vida.

Each of God’s names reveals a wonderful aspect of His nature that can meet your deepest needs, comfort you in times of personal tragedy, and release you to new heights of praise in times of joy. God is so vast that the heavens cannot contain Him. Likewise, His personality is so complex that one name cannot adequately describe Him. Throughout the Bible, God revealed Himself to His people through His various names. When the Israelites were fearful, God revealed Himself as Jehovah Shalom, meaning “the Lord my Peace.” When they were uncertain of His will, He revealed Himself as Jehovah Rohi, meaning “the Lord my Shepherd.” He is also Jehovah Jireh, “the Lord our Provider,” and Jehovah Rophe, “the Lord our Healer.” Marilyn Hickey’s practical teaching on nineteen different names of God will whet your appetite to pursue fully God’s love and purpose for your life.

I'd give it 5 stars, but the way the writing style switching from talking about God to talking super informally about a related but random illustration threw me off and annoyed me. Even so, I definitely learned (and relearned) a lot.

If you are looking to grow your prayer life or your life as a Christian then this is a good book for Christians to read. It’s good to know the names of God and who you can call upon to receive something such as for Him to provide - Jehovah Jireh.

[Tiffany · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a simple guide to connecting with different aspects of God's nature through exploring the names God uses to reveal Himself to His people. The book focuses on 19 names of God found in Scripture and how we can apply the truth of that name to our lives. It is not a commentary or a scriptural interpretative guide and should not be used as such. Rather, it is meant to get you to reflect on who God is in your life and whether or not you've truly grabbed hold of who God would like to be in your life. So many of our problems exist because we don't have a big enough view of God. If you really want to grow your faith, grow your view of God. Studying the names of God is but one way in which that growth can occur.

I think the primary value of this book is that it encourages you to ask whether or not you're allowing God to truly be God in your life, in all the various ways in which God would like to manifest Himself. We may do well in one area but not in another. We may have experienced God as Jehovah Jireh but not yet connected with God as Jehovah Rophe or Jehovah Rohi. Or, perhaps, we struggle with God as El Shaddai. Use this book to help you shed light on that next spiritual breakthrough you need in order to continue to grow your view of God.

I was tremulously blessed by reading Mariyln Hickeys biblical study book of The Names of God. For all of us who study the bible or bible history this book is a must read. It helped me understand that Gods names actually tell us who He is and how He relates to us and how to speak His name over the circumstance we face in life.
