Names of God: A 30-Day Devotional Journey Through Who God Is

We reach for God’s name in the moments we need Him most — Provider when the numbers do not add up, Healer in the hospital corridor, the God who sees when we feel invisible, Peace when nothing around us is peaceful.
Names of God is a 30-day devotional journey through who God is — one name at a time. In Scripture, names are not labels; they reveal character. As God tells us His names — Elohim, El Shaddai, Jehovah-Rapha, Adonai, the Prince of Peace — He is telling us who He is and how He meets us. This book walks through thirty of them, one each day, as an invitation to meet the God behind each name right where you actually live.
Written by Dwane J. Brown, an ordained chaplain and pastor, this devotional comes from a lifetime of learning God’s names not in a classroom, but in the places he needed them most. It is not an academic study or theology from a safe distance. It is warm, honest, and grounded in the realities of everyday life — and especially the hard seasons where we need God most.
Each reading includes a name of God and its plain meaning, an anchoring passage of Scripture, a short reflection, three gentle questions, and an honest prayer. There is no pressure here to do more or be more than you already are. On the days when energy is low, even reading a single verse or one prayer is enough.
This devotional may be especially meaningful if you are:

• longing to know God more personally, not only to know about Him
• walking through a hard season — illness, grief, exhaustion, or uncertainty
• feeling small, unseen, or further from God than you would like to be
• wanting a simple, steady rhythm of Scripture, reflection, and prayer for everyday life
• looking for devotional reading that is honest about struggle and anchored in grace

Over these thirty days, you will not just learn God’s names. You will meet the God who answers to every one of them — the One who made the stars and also knows yours.
