30 Meditations on the Names of God

Marilyn Hickey, Sarah Bowling

What's in a name? Plenty, it turns out. Each name for God in Scripture 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. In 30 Meditations on the Names of God, Marilyn Hickey and Sarah Bowling share their heartfelt thoughts about the importance of meditating on God's Word and how meditating on the names of God can help us with every need. 
 
 
 
When we are fearful, we can pray to Him as Jehovah Shalom, "the Lord my Peace." 
 
 
 
When we are uncertain of His will, we can seek Him as Jehovah Rohi, "the Lord my Shepherd." 
 
 
 
As Jehovah Jireh, "the Lord our Provider," God is letting us know that He sees ahead of our need and makes provision for it. 
 
 
 
God is our health and well-being as Jehovah Rophe, "the Lord our Healer." 
 
  
 
No matter what you're going through or how you feel, knowing God's names can give you comfort and confidence to invite Him into your life.

I Am With You Always - The...

Chris Pelicano, Fred Gallagher

When we are alone, isolated, afraid, and grieving the loss of a loved one, Jesus tells us plainly, “Behold, I am with you always!” It is His presence and constant companionship that brings us comfort, consolation, and hope through all the seasons of our lives. 
I Am with You Always invites the ordinary Catholic to once again “behold Jesus.” In doing so, we will realize with joy and gratitude the wonderful connection between the ordinary teachings and practices of our Catholic faith and the strength we derive from them to weather the storms of life. 
The authors gently invite their readers to respond to Christ’s perennial call to “come and see” and to verify for yourself that:God truly is Love and His mercy endures forever;Christ draws near in order to remain with us;we truly encounter Christ in the sacraments and in the liturgy;we live, even now, in the communion of His saints;Our Lady of Compassion constantly intercedes for us; andGod hears our prayers and responds to our heartache and pain. 
This book was written as an act of friendship, as one heart speaking to another about the reality of God’s love for us. It is an act of companionship, a drawing near to a beloved friend in their time of need. It is a gift that reminds a broken heart that there is always hope in Jesus Christ. For He alone is the victory over death that we seek for ourselves and for our loved ones.
