This book was birthed in the city-wide Bible study group established on Sept. 8, 2001. The group's focus was repentance and prayer for families, the military, cities, and nations. After seven years of studying the Hebrew names of God and sharing Event #1 1994 and Event #2 1995 of the Rapture the Lord gave her, the outcome was this Bible study workbook.
Miesner spent five additional years transposing over forty women's incredible testimonies with fictional techniques. She felt she was merely a bystander as their stories fell into a chronological pattern, along with her family's story, explaining the Hebrew names of God' character, and actually writing this book from beginning to end.
By the time you work through the four parts of this book, God will invade your space - if you give Him permission to. Beginning in Genesis, readers will travel with Miesner, and many other individuals, until they find themselves in Revelation 12 as an overcomer, sharing their own testimony. More than just a study on the names of God, the book portrays what life becomes when we allow Him open access to our hearts, marriages and families. This workbook is solid, Scriptural teaching of eternal truths lived out in the lives of real, ordinary people who know who they are and where they are going because they faced where they came from.
