By This Name (English)

This book has definitely inspired my life and it has strengthened my faith. It is inspired by the Word of God and hence free from errors. It explains terms like justification and sanctification very clearly. It is not just a great evangelistic tool but also helpful to every believer in Christ as it helps you to understand the importance of teaching God’s Word clearly so that more may put their trust in Christ and be set free from the vain belief systems of the world.

Just returned home from a seminar with John Cross, the pieces of the puzzle were finally put all together for me. I went through many emotions while sitting in a room of thirty people. But noticed no one around me, it was like everything had come to a stand still in my life, except for the words on the pages…..............it was a 32 hour study of the book, and it brought me to God. This morning in church I raised my hand, stood up and told the people around me what an honor it was to have been invited to attend the seminar put on by “goodseed” and that I had given my life to the Lord…...God bless you John Cross…..........Amen (Originally posted on November 01, 2009)

I sold an old Suburban more than a year ago, but a few weeks ago I received a call from a guy who now had the suburban, but did not have a bill of sale from the guy he got it from. So he came over to my office to talk and see what we could do to get the title transferred to him, since the guy I sold it too never transferred the title. After a short while we began to talk about spiritual things and he mentioned that he has been looking into all sorts of religions, because he had a heart attack recently. I gave him a copy of By This Name, as it is the best book I have seen for helping people to understand that the God of the Bible is the one and only God. This books shows how God proved himself above all the gods of Egypt and every other god. I think this was a divine appointment, otherwise I would never have met this guy and I don’t know where he would have got questions answered. (Originally posted on October 02, 2009)

Incredible! I’ve been a Christian for 23 years, but had my eyes opened to the most wonderful way to share the gospel, in a non threatening way, that was simple and chronological. I have struggled with too many words, (that have confused the listener, who stares at me with a glazed look in his eyes), when trying to share the gospel. I feel confident with this material, because it’s a staightforward account of the Bible, with enough extra info. thrown in to clarify key points to the one who is seeking. All i can do, is stand amazed , once more , at God’s perfect Word, and a grateful heart to those on the Good Seed team that have made this material available to all who are interested in sharing their faith, and to provide it at such a reasonable cost. Thank you , Thank you!! and may the Good Shepherd continue to grant his blessing on all that you do… susan (Originally posted on May 06, 2009)

I used this book in a small group with three women who were "on the fence" with their faith. The author has done a marvelous job of clearly laying out God's plan for our lives. It was an enormous blessing for me to watch as these ladies began to understand and grasp a clearer understanding of the Bible. It does an amazing job of tying the Old Testament in with the New Testament and what the new covenant means for us today. I can't think of a book, other than the Bible itself, that I would recommend more strongly. A great book to read for yourself, one-on-one mentoring or a small group. Once you read it you'll see what I mean! The study guide that is offered is also a nice addition to reiterate what you have read and fascilitate further discussion. (Originally posted on 11/25/2010)

When I was exploring Christian beliefs and looking into churches to learn more I was given this book. I was intrigued and wanted to read more. It brought together common misbeliefs and what the bible teaches and lets you make your own decisions. This was the start of the change in my beliefs and would highly recommend it to anyone that wants to learn more about the bible or who is exploring their own faith. (Originally posted on 09/24/2010)

My colleague gave me this book to read. Without saying much about it. And as soon as I started, I couldn't let it go. I was reading it day and night and on the bus. It peels open layer by layer about the bible, and explains factually why bible, is a unique book that tells nothing but the truth. And why it is so important that we should understand the bible BEFORE we make a decision whether we want to believe in god and Jesus. Making a decision without knowing the truth fully, is irresponsible to our self. while reading this book, I also read the bible, and it is all become very meaningful and I could understand it much more. And god's words truly delights my heart. I would recommend this book to any friend or family members who are not aware of what bible is about. (Originally posted on 04/07/2009)
