My Book Review, The
Name Quest, by John
Avery
Overall I felt the information in the book
was very insightful and dove deeply into the varying aspects of God in relation
to the names or descriptions that have been used to describe him throughout the
Bible. There were plenty of Biblical
references, commentary, and anecdotal compliments to expand on each point.
Unfortunately, I felt the presentation to be a little
chaotic. It seemed at times that the
information was being poured down my throat without any recognizable
organization. However, that may be just
the way I absorb information. For example,
I expected the names to be neatly packaged into broader compartments that
shared common characteristics – instead what I discovered was a continual
exposure to information that I found hard to digest and retain.
In all fairness to the author, I believe the book would serve a
reader with a more distinct purpose (research or study guide) than it did me,
reading for pleasure. Even though I do
find the subject matter intriguing and helpful, the organization caused me to
have difficulty navigating my way through it.
If someone were doing research or specifically focused on the
subject I would recommend this book, but if you just searching for casual
reading this book may not be for you.
I received this book from the publisher
through BookCrash. I am not being compensated for my review. If you are
