God's names, titles, and descriptors are windows into his character. As we learn his names and meditate on them, we will come to know him more intimately. We will begin to trust him more fully. And we will find our hearts drawn ever more passionately to do his will here on earth as it is in heaven. And so I invite you to undertake a journey with me to explore God by means of his names.
The author describes his purpose in writing this study -- to help us know God better by enriching our prayer lives, our worship, and our faith. We learn many of the names and titles through stories of the Patriarchs and poetry of the Psalms and Prophets.
