Trade Review[Orenstein's] book deeply explores the mystery and essence of God's names in the contexts in which they appear…a natural addition to the rabbinical student's reading list…enlightening. * Jewish Book World *
This book is aimed at the knowledgeable reader who wants to look at the Tanach , prayer, and daily life from another point of view. The book is well written and deserves to be in a synagogue or academic library. It will make you think about God in new ways. * AJL Newsletter *
