"A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches." - Proverbs 22:1

During World War II, my father-in-law spent 18 months in a prisoner-of-war camp.  In the camp, loudspeakers often played music, and one of the songs that was heard repeatedly was "Lili Marlene." Somehow it gave him hope, and he fell in love with the beauty of that name.  Years later he gave that name, which was filled with personal significance, to his only daughter—my wife Marlene. 

Names are like that.  They have great importance in human relationships.  Nowhere, however, is a name more important than in our relationship with the Living Lord.  In a way that sets Him apart from all others, He ties His name to His reputation, and then to His own self-introduction as "God with us."  This booklet is about the amazing prophecy of Isaiah 9:6, where the prophet, 700 years before the coming of Messiah, described the One whose names revealed His importance to us.  

Bill Crowder joined the Our Daily Bread Ministries staff in 2001 after more than 20 years in the pastorate stretching from West Virginia to southern California to west Michigan. Over the years, Bill has spent much of his time in a Bible-conference ministry around the world, serving ODBM offices and their outreach to their local communities. Bill is a contributing writer for the Our Daily Bread devotional and has written many Bible study booklets for ODBM’s Discovery Series. He has also published a number of books with ODB Publishing, the latest being Wisdom for our Worries and Gospel on the Mountains. Bill also serves as a co-host with Mart DeHaan, Elisa Morgan, and Daniel Ryan Day on the “Discover the Word” podcast and daily radio program, heard throughout the U.S. and on more than 20 stations in Canada. On the personal front, Bill is now semi-retired and, with his wife, Marlene, lives in North Carolina. They have been married for over 45 years and have five adult children and a growing legion of grandchildren.
