Once again, Dave provided wonderful insights into the original language and cultural meaning. He really expanded my knowledge of the scriptures. He had quite a few recommendations on the last two pages of the book that I'm sure to read in 2026.

This is a pretty neat little book. You could read one name a week or read several at a time. Each is a short devotional reading that takes you into deeper knowledge of the Hebrew meanings of the names of God that may seem familiar but have much more meaning than you might have first believed. I'm not entirely certain I can trust the accuracy of all of it, though, because I'm not a Hebrew scholar, so I can't verify the meanings and have seen some people being critical of him. I also don't like several of his "recommended resources" for further study because I know some of them teach things I do not believe are according to God's Word. For this reason I only recommend these as a bit of something to consider and compare with what you find in scripture.
The names I found most interesting were "El Echad" and "El Hanne'eman."
"El Echad" is translated "The One God." Adamson explains that "Echad" means "one," but that can be a compound "one," like a bunch of grapes or a vine of tomatoes; it also means "unity of purpose." Where God is united in love and we, His creation, have a purpose—to love God.
"El Hanne'eman" is translated "Faithful God." Adamson points out that this term includes the word "amen," which means = trustworthy, true, firm, reliable, and faithful. He then makes the point that when we pray and say, "amen," we are saying God is faithful, trustworthy, and reliable to answer our prayer.

It was a lovely birthday present. Reading it with my husband made it a blessing. Now if only they would use YHVH or Adonai- I would give it 5 stars
