Series: Names of God Devotional Studies #2
Author: Grace Fox
Publisher: Aspire Press
Release Date: July 8, 2025
Genre: Christian Living; Devotional study
Peace.
The very word evokes images of serene landscapes and quiet stillness. In today’s chaotic world, peace is a valuable commodity. The Bible has a lot to say about peace, claiming that God himself is the ultimate source. In this follow-up to Names of God: Living Unafraid, Grace Fox reflects on how the following names of God point to the peace our souls so desperately crave:
Yahweh Shalom—The Lord Is Peace
Abba—Father
El Shaddai—God Almighty
El Roi—The God Who Sees Me
Yahweh Ori—The Lord Is My Light
Yahweh Nissi—The Lord Is My Banner
Immanuel—God with Us
Knowing Peace uses examples from Scripture and compelling real-life stories to illustrate how these names can bring inner peace amid life’s storms. Each session includes a guided prayer, reflection questions, and a video link providing additional insights from Grace. Perfect for individual or group study, this new addition to the Names of God series will encourage and inspire readers to draw near to God and receive his peace that passes understanding (Philippians 4:7).

More in This Series
In Names of God: Knowing Peace, Grace Fox looks at different biblical names for God and examines how they illustrate the peace only He can offer us. There are seven chapters, one for each name of God she looks at. The first is Yahweh Shalom, and that fit right in with our Wednesday night study at our church, so it made for excellent reading! And there’s a lot to ponder packed in this little book.
Fox opens each chapter with a personal story that feels like sitting down with a friend and chatting over coffee. She then digs into the meaning of the name that is the focus of that chapter, using Scripture to illustrate how both the name and its meaning are used. The verses she selected are ones that may be familiar to many Christians, and were familiar to me. But it helps me to connect a particular characteristic of God to my own circumstances when I have specific verses in front of me that remind me of that characteristic.
Fox then provides an example of a biblical figure who experienced the name of God on which each chapter focuses. For example, she uses Gideon to illustrate Yahweh Shalom, showing how he grew from a man cowering in fear, hiding from his enemies in a winepress, to a mighty warrior for God because he experienced God as peace.
Each chapter continues with ways we can apply the name of God to our lives, a modern example of someone’s experience with that characteristic of God, how Jesus also embodies that name of God, and ways we can respond to our newly gained knowledge. She closes each chapter with a prayer and Points to Ponder, questions that make for a good study of each name (in-depth enough, but not so deep that you’ve got to be a hardcore Bible scholar to benefit from them!).
Names of God: Knowing Peace offers insights that are substantive enough for the seasoned Christian, but that can also be good starting points and encouragement for newer believers. This is a book I can see myself coming back to when I need reminders of just how marvelous our God is and how many different ways He offers us His peace.

i love your thoughtful review! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts
We used to sing a song in church that had some of the names in it. That is how I first learned of some of the names of God. Sounds like a very good book.
Thanks for your review.
This looks very inspirational. Thanks for sharing.
