Praying Through the Names of Jesus

Praying Through the Names of Jesus invites readers to know Christ more deeply by reflecting on the names and titles given to Him throughout Scripture. Tony Evans explores names such as Immanuel, Prince of Peace, Lamb of God, Great High Priest and Son of God, showing how each one reveals something of Jesus’ identity, authority, sacrifice and love.

Each section combines biblical reflection with guided prayer, helping readers move from learning about Christ towards worshipping Him and trusting Him more personally. The devotional format makes the book accessible for daily reading, especially for those seeking greater focus and depth in prayer.

The names of Jesus should not be treated as formulas or spiritual techniques. Their purpose is to reveal the person and work of Christ and lead readers towards reverence, faith, obedience and worship. Each title is best understood within the biblical passage and wider gospel story in which it appears.

Recommended for: readers seeking to know Jesus more deeply, strengthen their prayer life and develop a more Christ-centred devotional rhythm.

Reading approach: consider one name at a time, read the supporting Scripture in context and use the guided prayers as a foundation for personal worship, thanksgiving, confession and petition.
