Immanuel: Praying the Names of God through the Christmas Season
Six titles or names of God have been selected that focus on Jesus, God’s Son, in a way that is especially meaningful for the advent season: Yahweh or Lord, Yeshua or Jesus the Savior, Immanuel, Yeled or Child, Melek, meaning King of Kings, and Kokab, meaning Bright Morning Star. These names offer peace in an otherwise stressful season of Christmas frenzy. Each of the six weeks is formatted for five daily readings which include either a brief overview of the “Name” being considered, key scripture passages, background information, devotional thoughts, or suggestions for prayer, and reflection. Friday’s reading also provides additional ideas for continued prayer and praise to be carried into Saturday and Sunday. I was especially moved by the promises associated with each name in the Friday readings. Confidence, salvation, rescue, deliverance, and His presence with us are just of a few of the promises to claim. I also enjoyed the guided suggestions for each scripture passage: for reflection, with ideas for a personal worship, a praise theme, and items to be considered for thanksgiving, confession, and supplication. Whether using a Bible-study approach, with thought-provoking questions, or a contemporary story illustrating a spiritual truth, Ann Spangler captures the true and deeper wonder of celebrating the feast of Christmas. The compact size, the hardback binding, and the beautifully designed jacket make “Immanuel: Praying the Names of God through the Christmas Season” an ideal pre-Christmas gift. This daily devotional guide is a book that will be treasured and used time and time again for advent inspiration. Praying the Names of God through the Christmas Season is a wonderful way to rediscover the gift of advent. |
