Session 7: Immanuel—God with Us

Grace Fox, author of Names of God: Knowing Peace, discusses the name Immanuel (God with Us). God is with us through the Holy Spirit, who dwells in those who place their faith in Jesus. When we begin to fully grasp the enormity of this truth, the nearness of God brings us peace that “exceeds anything we can understand” (Philippians 4:7 NLT).


About the Book

Names of God: Knowing Peace reflects on how seven names of God point to the peace our souls so desperately crave. In today’s chaotic world, peace is a valuable commodity, and the Bible has much to say about it. Each session in this book illustrates the transformative power of God’s names through both Bible teaching and the stories of real women, with a guided prayer and reflection questions based in Scripture included at the end. Most books about the names of God are focused on information, but Grace Fox’s heartfelt and honest devotional style takes this book a step further, making Knowing Peace ideal for both individual and group study.
