Blessed Be His Name: Revealing the Sacred Names of God (ebook Edition)

Overview

The Second Commandment tells all Christians to respect the name of the Lord, keeping it Holy and to avoid misuing it. His name is revered above all other names. In modern society though, the name of the Lord is misused often without much thought to it. Come back to honoring the Lord's name by understanding what His name truly means. 

Rev. Dr. Kevin Golden's wonderful approach to learning about and understanding the Lord's name will guide you toward a greater appreciation for all of God's names. Study questions included at the end of each chapter will push you to think deeply about what has been discussed and how to apply it to your view of Scripture and to your daily life.

"With this book, Rev. Dr. Kevin Golden demonstrates why he is such a beloved pastor in our congregation, where it has been my privilege to serve with him as Assistant Pastor for the last ten years.

"In an age of conjecture, Rev. Golden's book brings a studied clarity to the subject of God's holy name. Each chapter, packed full of edifying goodness and truth from Scripture, offers golden insights into what the LORD does with His name for the good of His people. This a meaty, satisfying read, one that I will be treasuring and pondering in my heart for years to come." 

—Katie Schuermann, author of the Anthems of Zion Series (2017) and Pew Sisters (2012).

"This interesting, readable book, Blessed Be His Name, delivers a panoramic view concerning the holiness of God’s name that we Christians sometimes in different ways thoughtlessly and sinfully misuse, as shown in this book. The many cogent points in this book remind us of God’s Second Commandment that we so easily forget both before and as we violate it. Christians reading this book will find it insightful and spiritually beneficial."
