People rushing past. A familiar face. A flash of recognition. Shifting glances and awkward conversation. What’s the distraction? Panicky attempts to recall the person’s name! It’s an embarrassing thing to stand face to face with someone you have met more than once and have to end the conversation with, “Uh … what was your name again?”Too often the church does just that – with God. We catch a glimpse of Him in our busy schedule, barely recognize Him moving in the world around us, and when our paths cross at the end of the day, we make awkward conversation in prayer, unsure of His heart and intentions, embarrassed to admit we don’t know Him as intimately as we should.While this book will not provide you with an exhaustive list of the names of God, it will lay the foundation for your study of Him. It will share some of the Biblical reasons for getting to know God by name, the benefits of investing in a relationship with Him. It will encourage you to dig deeper in your faith, because the last thing any of us want is to stand before the throne on judgment day, sheepishly asking, “What was your name again?”
