Who is God?

Scripture answers this question not with a single title, but with many holy names, each revealing a facet of God’s eternal character, His saving work, and His intimate relationship with His people.

This 6″ x 9″ 600 page book is a richly theological and deeply pastoral exploration of the names of God as revealed throughout the Old and New Testa
