about the book
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).

excerpt
The name El Roi assures us that God “gets” us. He already knows our thoughts and the intent of our hearts, so we can be completely honest with him. We don’t have to approach him wearing spiritual veneer to cover our blemishes. There’s no point, because nothing is hidden from his sight.
The name El Roi also implies God’s nearness. He is never too preoccupied to care about what’s happening with us. He is present with us—right here, right now—because his Holy Spirit lives in us. Because he is near, he sees everything that happens in our lives, and he’s involved in the details.
Life being what it is, we’ll all experience moments or seasons when we feel alone or invisible. We’ll find ourselves in situations where we doubt that anyone truly understands what we’re going through. We can’t deny our emotions—nor should we—but we can deny their potentially negative power over us by setting our minds on the truth: God sees us. He sees the marginalized, the weary, and those who have lost their last shred of hope. He sees us in our despair and in our deepest place of need. He “gets” us, and he cares.
