Names for Jesus

“I have studied the scripture for many years, mostly from a rational, exegetical perspective. This book takes the exegetical and transforms it into a spiritual practice in five parts. This book is a breath of fresh air and is incredibly helpful; everyone should be able to find fifteen minutes in their busy lives to reflect on the names of Jesus. This book will guide each us in this process.”


—Vernon Meyer, Sun Lakes United Church of Christ





“In Names for Jesus, Boyer’s expertise in critical and rational thought wonderfully elucidates many of the names for Jesus in the Bible leading the reader to deeper understanding. Boyer’s mastery of facilitating spiritual experience through the use of scripture, reflections, prayers, and meditation guides readers to meet with the divine during Advent and Christmas or any time of the year.”


—Matthew Ver Miller, Licensed Psychologist and Board-Certified Coach, Rocky Mountain Professional Counseling





“Mark Boyer’s Names for Jesus offers a spiritual banquet. In addition to convenient historical and spiritual settings for each entry, the author provides a plethora of titles for the Savior, illustrating how Jesus adapts himself to meet us in every human circumstance. Boyer reminds the reader that Jesus is intimately familiar with all our human struggles and meets us where we are—in joy or in sorrow—eager and willing to be our companion and savior in all the vicissitudes of life. A genuinely resourceful book, worth pondering prayerfully!”


—Pauline Nugent, Professor of Classics and Hebrew, Department of Modern and Classical Languages, Missouri State University
