As a person, you are known by your given names in addition to your titles, such as parent, spouse and friend. The more you are and do, the more names and titles you have.

God, the creator of the universe, has facets to His nature that extend beyond our imaginations, and He has countless names to describe each of His attributes.

The Bible has more than 1,000 names, titles and metaphors for God: El Shadai, Shepherd, King, Father, Son and Holy Spirit are only a few of them. Each name and title of God represents one aspect of who He is.

Just as we learn more about a person when we become familiar with his or her characteristics, we learn more about God when we know His names which define His character.

Knowledge of who God is can transform the way we live and relate to Him.

I prayed that I would be anointed to write a book through which readers could feel the presence of God. I believe God has answered my prayer, because I felt the presence of God as I wrote each of the 365 devotionals on the names of God for my devotional book 365 Ways to Know God. This book can be a guide for your heart, demonstrating God’s ability and willingness to answer your every hope and need from the boundless reservoirs of His love.

As you learn about God by discovering His many names, you will be transformed.

Each day you can reflect on one name of God, and you can nurture a deep, worshipful understanding of Him so that you can come to know Him on a first-name basis. Your daily prayers and devotional readings can be a dialogue between you and God. Your time with God can begin by prayerfully expressing your hopes and needs to Him, and then read on as God unveils the meaning of one of His many names and how He can remove your daily burdens.

If you reflect on one name of God for every day of the year, you will nurture a deep, worshipful understanding of Him so that you can come to know Him on a first-name basis.
