Embraced by the Father

Have you ever wanted to learn more about the names of God, but not be bogged down with a lot of technical theological terms?  Then I have the perfect book for you!  Written by Susanne Scheppmann, Embraced by the Father is a practical book about how God meets our every need in every situation.

Most of us probably know that Abba means Father, but to hear Susanne talk about it after knowing the dysfunctional family she came from brings a whole new meaning to Abba.

I was engrossed from the moment I started the 12 chapter book with references to ballroom dancing and the names of God and couldn't put it down.  There are questions and journal prompts at the end of each chapter to make it into a nice devotional book.

Each chapter deals with a different name of God and Susanne uses personal and biblical application to make those names come alive so we can apply them to our lives!  I highly recommend this book if you are curious about what each of the names of God mean.  You may have heard El Shaddai, but do you know what it means?  There may even be a name of God in there you haven't heard before.
