What’s the first question we ask children about a new friend?

What’s his name?

What did Moses expect the Israelites to ask him when he told them about meeting God at the burning bush?

What’s His name?

Creator. Comforter. Healer. Friend. God’s names tell us who he is, what he is like, and what he does. My new book for children and families, I AM: 40 Reasons to Trust God, covers forty of the Bible’s many names and descriptive titles for God.

Jehovah Jireh. The Lord My Shepherd. Immanuel. Rabbi. I Am.

Through Bible stories, short devotions, and prayers, children discover the meaning of each name and how it relates to their lives. As they develop understanding of God’s character and His love for them, they will grow to know, love, and trust the great I Am more and more.

The editorial and design teams at Tommy Nelson have created another beautiful book! The cover literally sparkles! Diane Le Feyer, who illustrated Words to Dream On: Bedtime Bible Stories and Prayers, was chosen to be the artist for I AM too.

You can view a sampler here. Children will recognize many of the Bible characters portrayed in Words to Dream On in this new book! And they can illustrate some of the stories in the book with the free coloring pages you can download here.
