We all want a heart like the one described in Psalm 17. The heart of the righteous is described as fixed, unafraid no matter what circumstances come. In this book, Fay Rowe takes us on a gentle journey that brings us much closer to that place of unshakeable trust in the magnificent integrity of God.

Readers' Comments

"Fay Rowe challenges us to look beyond what we can see--what we think we know--to the character of God.  She inspires us to be like Abraham, David, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and to defy a world that says God doesn't mean what He says. What's in a Name forces us to not just believe in faith but to live it based on the truth of God's character.  This is a book that everyone who calls themselves Christian must read."

"Fay Rowe's insight into that one verse in Psalm 138 and her delivery of its interpretation has taken me on a wonderful journey.  What's in a Name is written to immediately engage the reader.  The magnificence of God's name and all that it means has renewed and encouraged my faith."

"This book is brilliantly simple, surprisingly deep, and clearly understandable.  Fay Rowe does not make the reader jump through hoops or run blindly through a maze.  Rather, she defines a distinct path for us to travel.  Along this path are many traditional stumbling blocks that she converts into stepping stones; instead of falling flat on our faces, we rise to a new level of understanding."

"I feel privileged and very blessed to have had your manuscript put into my hands.  I took time off to read it, carefully that is, and it brought me in close touch with my Lord.  Many others who will read this work, I believe, will have the same testimony of encouragement and a closer walk with God.  It is a profound, well documented piece, equal in both its scholarly and spiritual merits.  'Dog ears' are used to highlight pages on which I paused for breath because of the profundity of what I was reading."

Look Inside

From the Introduction:

"You're never the same after you meet Goliath face to face. Yes, he still lives, and we all have met him in one form or another. Our personal Goliath wears different disguises but every one has the face of a terrorist. Like Goliath in the Bible story, our tormenter shows up, sometimes daily, to challenge and mock us. His terrifying taunts ring loudly or whisper menacingly, 'You are helpless.'"

 

From Page 33:

"Perhaps it's when we feel the most inadequate that the 'I don't cuss and I don't chew' philosophy appears so attractive. It's much less demanding, we think, than giant slaying. It certainly is less demanding. It is also less glorious. To my knowledge there are no songs which celebrate a quite admirable abstinence from cussing and chewing."

 

From page 94:

"In this bright and beautiful home that God created for His family, where Adam walked clothed in glory, there was a tragic day when the light went out.  We have all heard about it.  On that horrible day, when Adam chose to act on the words of the rebellious angel, Lucifer, he effectively became his servant and put God’s enemy in charge on this earth, and the sovereign God—because He is righteous—had to honor his action.  The glory left, and Adam, horrified, realized that he was naked and vulnerable."

 

From Page 148:

"In the book of Matthew, Jesus is sitting on a hilltop, looking around at a small group of ordinary people...a couple of rough fishermen, a government worker, a couple of rowdy guys he calls the 'sons of thunder,' and others, and he began to teach them some important things about light. He told them, 'You are light.'

They are? He can't be serious!"
