Have the demands of life left you weakened and weary? Do you struggle to get back up after life has knocked you down?
Every day requires a fresh dose of inner strength if we are to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Growing Strong, the third book in Grace Fox’s Names of God series, explores seven Hebrew names of God that will encourage you and fortify your faith:
- Adonai—Lord and Supreme Master
- Yahweh Ropheka—The LORD Your Healer
- Yahweh Makkeh—The LORD Who Smites
- Ruach Elohim—Spirit of God
- El Emunah—Faithful God
- Yahweh Tsuri—The LORD Is My Rock
- Elohei Tehillati—God of My Praise
- The meaning, biblical context, and pronunciation of the Hebrew name
- Compelling examples that illustrate the name’s impact in the lives of historical biblical characters and contemporary women
- A guided prayer
- Reflection questions
- A video link providing additional insights from Grace Fox
Most books about the names of God seek to be informative, but this series treats readers to Grace Fox’s warm, honest, and heartfelt devotional style. You’ll not only dive into the meaning behind God’s names but also nurture your relationship with him and deepen your understanding of his character.
Perfect for individual or small group study, Growing Strong will help empower you to “do all things” through Christ as you grow in his strength (Philippians 4:13 KJV).

Book Excerpt
This excerpt comes from Session 1 which is titled, “Adonai – Lord and Supreme Master.”
Words like master, servant, and slave in the context of our relationship with God might cause us to cringe and conjure up a mental image of a tyrant yelling, “Do as I say or else!” Or maybe the concept makes us think of pride-filled leaders, church or otherwise, who use their positions
to abuse others. Let’s banish those images, okay? They do not, in any way, reflect the
true nature of Adonai.
While slavery was a widespread reality in Old Testament times, biblical laws served to protect slaves and provide for the desperately poor. In exchange for service, masters gave their slaves much-needed shelter, food, clothing, and other necessities. They also provided the training,
tools, and equipment needed for the work. Masters sometimes treated their slaves as family members and allowed them to express any needs they might have.
This is the correct image of God depicted by the name Adonai. He lovingly assumes full responsibility for his servants’ well-being. In exchange, he receives their complete allegiance and obedience. Understanding this aspect of our relationship with God strengthens our trust in him and fortifies us to overcome fear. Because of Adonai’s commitment to us, we needn’t be scared to say yes to him without first knowing all the details of his assignments for us. We can kick hesitation to the curb and respond with confidence, joy, and peace.
