Book Description
In Isaiah 9:6, a divine utterance is given to us using four royal titles--Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Names for the Messiah ponders each title and how the people understood it then, how Jesus did or did not fulfill the title, and how Christians interpret Jesus as representative of that title. Christians have claimed from the beginning that Jesus was the Messiah foretold in the Old Testament. In this study, best-selling author Walter Brueggemann tackles the questions: "What were these expectations?" and "Did Jesus fulfill them?"

Each week: Begins with an interactive family devotional that equips readers to celebrate Advent together Offers five daily reflections that focus on that week's name of Jesus Includes suggestions for fun-filled family activities or service projects This devotional can be used by readers in their own personal worship times or as a tool to engage in family worship during the busy holiday season. Either way, participants will gain a greater sense of awe and wonder at who Jesus is. By focusing on the person and character of Jesus throughout the Advent season, readers will prepare their hearts so that when they admire the live nativity, sit in the candlelight service, or wake up on Christian morning, they can join the faithful who sing from the bottom of their hearts, "O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!"

Book Description
The Names of Jesus by A.B. Simpson is a book exactly about what it is entitled. In this book, A B Simpson originally preached a series of sermons on the names of Christ and this book takes some of those sermons and makes a 15 chapter book out of those sermons. A.B. Simpson had this book Names of Jesus printed in 1892 and he was delighted to share that Jesus Christ was everywhere in the Bible. A B Simpson saw Christ in the Old Testament and the New Testament. A.B. Simpson saw Jesus in the rock, the staff, the tree, the river, the vine, the prophet, everywhere in scripture. With the Names of Jesus we have a great resource for reference and study that will delve into some of the more biblical truths that resonate throughout the scriptures. Believers need to know their Savior and to understand that the names reveal an underlying truth about the One who is their redeemer. A.B. Simpson wanted everyone to realize that Jesus Christ was made known to those in the OT and revealed in the NT through actions, sacrifices, names and traditions. All of scripture winds around these truths and constantly go forward with truth and utmost authority always pointing to the Christ.
