Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Names matter. Did you know that more than 350 names and titles related to Jesus can be found in the Scripture? The vastness of His character and His work on the behalf of His people are revealed through His many names. The more deeply we explore the names of Jesus, the more we are able to move from simply knowing about Him to truly knowing Him. Fall in love with Jesus all over again as you get to know Him through thirty-two of His life-changing names. These meditations by Nancy Leigh DeMoss, illuminated by the artwork of Timothy Botts and accompanied by quotes from classic authors, hymn writers, and preachers, will help you recapture the wonder of His name.


My Review:
The Wonder of His Name is a hardcover, devotional book focused on 32 different names of Jesus. For each name, there's a verse using that name along with a devotional text that talks about the meaning and impact of that name. On a second page, there's a few quotes from preachers, hymns, etc., about the name as well as a question that makes you think about how this information impacts your life. The names were illustrated in a colorful way and some names had a colorful, two-page spread of the verse in addition to the normal material. I had thought that more names would be covered, so I was disappointed that only 32 names were featured. However, I did enjoy the devotional material on the names that were covered: Jesus, the Word, Son of God, Son of Man, Immanuel, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Prince of Peace, Messiah, Chief Cornerstone, Captain, Friend of Sinners, I AM, Bread of Life, Light of the World, Good Shepherd, Resurrection and the Life, the Truth, Savior, Lord, Head, Great High Priest, Advocate, Alpha and Omega, Lion, Bridegroom, King, Servant of the Lord, Man of Sorrows, Redeemer, Lamb of God, and Amen.
