About This Guide

One Name. One Week.
A Lifetime of Knowing Him.

Every name God has ever revealed about Himself is a window into His character — an invitation to know Him more deeply. This study guide walks through 52 names of God across the full Old and New Testament, in both Hebrew and Greek, one per week across an entire year.

This is not a theological textbook. It is a devotional companion — designed for the person who wants to move from knowing about God to knowing God Himself. Each week gives you background, Scripture, theological reflection, a written prayer, and three meditation prompts — all on two pages you can sit with in a morning quiet time.

It is interactive, free, and designed to be used on any device — phone, tablet, or desktop. Your progress saves as you go.

What's Inside Every Day
📖
Meaning & Background
The original Hebrew or Greek word, its root, cultural context, and how it was used in the ancient world — without requiring any prior language training.
✦
Key Scripture Occurrences
Three carefully selected passages showing the name at work in Scripture, each linked directly to BibleGateway so you can read the full context instantly.
🔗
Theological Reflection
How this name connects across both Testaments — and what it reveals about the character of God that is directly relevant to your life today.
🙏
A Written Prayer
A model prayer built around each name — written in first person so you can pray it as your own, or let it open your heart into spontaneous prayer.
💭
Meditation Prompts
Three reflection questions to carry into your day — honest, searching, and personal. Not academic. Designed to move the name from your head into your life.
