Even though God is beyond our full comprehension, we can know his nature and character. Digging into his Word and seeking to know him day by day will make for one amazing journey—with a new treasure to discover in every encounter.
God knows you and calls you by name. And yes, it’s possible for you to know God—on a first-name basis.
Each of the 8 chapters:
• Focuses on God’s nature and attributes as illustrated by one of his personal names/descriptions found in the Old Testament.
• Provides insight into how the particular aspect of God relates to faith and daily life.
• Provides “First-Name Basis” discussion questions for individual or group study.
• Concludes with suggestions for “Getting Acquainted with” God—further study, activities, or projects that relate to the description of God discussed in the chapter.
• Ideal for home small groups, adult Bible fellowships, Sunday school classes, and book clubs
