God Knows Your Name: In a World of Rejection, He Accepts You
By Catherine Campbell (Monarch Books, 2010)
Have you ever been
at some fancy event and no one knew your name or cared to ask you who you are?
Well, that is what happened to the author, Catherine Campbell; so instead of
brushing off this disappointing few hours of her life, she delved into the
Bible.
Catherine realized
that, even though the people at the event didn’t care to know who she is, that
God knows her name, as stated in Exodus 33:17 (NKJV), “So the Lord said to Moses, “I will also do this
thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know
you by name.”
Crocheted with
entertaining stories, insightful nuggets, and thoughtful words, this book
encourages and empowers the reader. The carefully arranged sentences in this
book help the reader recognize their value and worth as an individual on this
highly populated planet, and that, most of all, the Creator of the Universe
knows who they are and knows their name.
“It never ceases
to amaze me how totally relevant the Bible is to our lives today, even though
its writings date back to millennia. It is undeniably God’s chosen form of
communication to us, His creation. And yet the Bible does not merely record how
God has dealt and does deal with mankind, but also how he relates to
individuals. God is a personal God. He is concerned about us on a one-to-one
basis; and God has no favourites,” (Campbell, 2010, p. 217).
Six main chapters
capture the primary issues discussed in this book: Nameless, Hopeless,
Worthless, Helpless, Powerless, and Loveless. There is also a prologue at the
front and a note from the author at the back. This book would make a great
addition to your personal library, as well as a memorable gift.
