"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6 (ESV)

We often read these beloved words at Christmas and remember how all the great prophecies of the Messiah are fulfilled in the birth of Jesus. Yet more and more people in our society are relegating Jesus to one religious leader among many. Undiscerning Americans seeking peace and spiritual fulfillment embrace pluralism and New Age spirituality. To them, Jesus is just one option among many, and all options seem valid.

In this book, Dan Hayden affirms Isaiah's grand vision of the Messiah and explores the meaning of Isaiah 9:6 phrase by phrase and word by word. He shows how Jesus is the unique Son of God, and he demonstrates how only Jesus has the power to give eternal life and real, lasting peace. Readers will find joy in remembering why Jesus truly is the Name Above All Names.
