MORE NAMES OF POWER
Much of the information on Hebrew names and scripture was double checked against John J. Parsons' Hebrew Names of God. In a case of which spelling to use, I tended to trust the scholarship of Parsons. For example, a common spelling of the Hebrew word for truth is "Emeth," but I decided to put Parsons' spelling of "Emet" first and only included the common spelling which I was more familiar with second. Since Parsons has an excellent website, I encourage all seekers interested in learning more about the Hebrew language and Hebrew names of God to check out the Hebrew for Christians website.
