Affirming You Forward

How parents agonize in choosing the name of a child to be! Naming books pile up and Internet searches, and endless informal polls of friends and family. What shall we name this longed for child? Is the pertinent question. Then suddenly, it comes – the perfect name! In her book, “Affirming You”, Gayle Chandler takes us on a journey that helps us discover the importance of names in God. A stunning picture comes to mind; did God in his inimitable love, carefully and deliberately agonize to choose exactly the right name for each of us, His longed for children? Did our Heavenly Parent whisper meaning into the hearts of our earthly parents, the meaning of who we were to be? This is a rich and wondrous look at the process and poignancy of naming, and of being named. Once you understand, you will never again take a name lightly.
