100 Names of God Daily Devotional

There has long been a need for a Christian devotional that balances the literary virtues of readability, brevity, and depth. Christopher Hudson has threaded the theological needle with his latest work: 100 Names of God Daily Devotional (Rose Publishing). Beautiful in presentation, stylish in appearance, and formatted for readability, the book provides a refreshing reading experience often lacking in today s literature. More important, however, is its design and content. Hudson deftly identifies 100 common and not-so-common divine names that prove to be a devotional delight. Each devotional provides a Divine name/title/description, its English translation, and a biblical reference of its use. These are followed by engaging narratives that weave modern-day storylines with rich overviews of corresponding biblical passages that introduce the reader to that particular name of God, followed by its application to our lives. Each devotional concludes with a reflection question, commitment prayer, and suggested scripture for those wanting deeper study for personal enrichment. 100 Names of God Daily Devotional is accessible and approachable while also being relevant and readable. It meets the needs of growing believers who have the desire for a deeper dive in their daily devotions. Moreover, Christopher Hudson s ability to provide biblically-informed readers with a broad diversity of Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic divine names, each of which is indexed to Strong s numbering system, makes this devotional a theological treasure trove that will prove to be popular with pastors, professors, and mature Christian believers everywhere. --Freddy Cardoza, Ph.D. Chair, Department of Christian Education, Talbot School of Theology Executive Director, Society of Professors in Christian EducationWhen you know someone, you know their name. The person is important to you, and you to that person. It is a deeply intimate and personal experience to call a person by their name. And this is even more true in our relationship with God. 100 Names of God brings our connection to God to a new level of closeness and worship. You will find yourself finding God yet again. --John Townsend New York Times bestselling author Leadership expert, psychologist and theologianThis is a book I've been waiting for ever since I heard Amy Grant sing the song, El Shaddai some 30 years ago. For me it was a haunting song about the power of God s name. El Shaddai. El Elyon. Adonai. The lyrics by Michael Card beautifully tie the Old Testament promise into the New Testament fulfillment. By helping us understand the many names of God sprinkled through Scripture, this book does the same. As a result, the book is just as moving and memorable as the song. Read it in a long afternoon or over 100 days, and you ll be reminded (or learn) that God is a Strong Tower, a Rock, a Potter, a Consuming Fire, the One Who Lifts My Head, and, of course, our Deliverer. To complement the engaging, reader-friendly content, the book also includes a nice index and a plan for breaking the book down into a six-week personal or group study. This is a book I will not give away. It will stay on a nearby shelf in my office. --Jay Payleitner, best-selling author of What if God Wrote Your Bucket List?
