The Power of God's Names by Tony Evans is very highly recommended for Christians who want to deepen their relationship with God by trying to understand His nature.

The Power of God's Names is a study guide for Christians who desire an in-depth introduction to many of God's names. “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous runs into it and is safe” (Proverbs 18:10) Evans points out that in Scripture, a name often means more. It can represent purpose, authority, makeup, and character. This is the case for the names of God. God's names reflect His character and His capacity. If we can understand the nature of God through His names, we can learn to identify and understand which name relates to our particular situation and God's promises for us. "I will reveal my name to my people, and they will come to know its power." Isaiah 52:6

This would be a wonderful small group study as well as an individual resource that could be used for years to come. Evans shares a plethora of Biblical insights and descriptions to help readers become more aware of God's names and the power behind them.

In The Power of God's Names Tony Evans provides a detailed study of the names of God and presents it in three parts: The Foundational Names of God, The Compound names of God, and The Incarnational names of God. This is an invaluable study resource for anyone who desires a more intimate, personal relationship with God.

These descriptions from the 66 books of the Bible aren’t actual names, but they give us a deeper and clearer glimpse into the one who has come as Immanuel to be the living fulfillment and manifestation of God’s names.
