Here is a listing of the many names of God . . . I believe they are beautiful names. These are the names in Hebrew from The Old Testament translated into English. I realize there are even more names that are used . . . Allah, for one. I can expand the list or create a new area for other cultures. I am open to either method. Just send me an email and I will make changes as time allows. Thank you for your contributions.
