WHEN WE KNOW AND UNDERSTAND who God is, we grow to know who we are and where we are going by facing where we came from. Miesner guides readers through the stories of real women and men as they experience God in their daily lives, so that they too might commit themselves 100 percent to Jesus Christ and be prepared for His return.

The 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 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 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 book 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.
