A tale of love, loss, identity, and belonging, No Place to Call Home tells the story of a family who fled to the United Kingdom from their native Congo to escape the political violence under the dictator, Le Maréchal. The young son Jean starts at a new school and struggles to fit in. An unlikely friendship gets him into a string of sticky situations, eventually leading to a suspension. At home, his parents pressure him to focus on school and get his act together, to behave more like his star-student little sister. As the family tries to integrate in and navigate modern British society while holding on to their roots and culture, they meet Tonton, a womanizer who loves alcohol and parties. Much to Jean's father's dismay, after losing his job, Tonton moves in with them. He introduces the family—via his church where colorful characters congregate—to a familiar community of fellow country-people, making them feel slightly less alone. The family begins to settle, but their current situation unravels and a threat to their future appears, while the fear of uncertainty remains.

The relationship of a new creation in Jesus is exclusive to Him. Relationships with sin, the flesh, and the devil are forsaken for our glorious Savior. The true bride of Christ is clothed by Jesus with His righteousness and adorned with His holiness. He gave her a gown that is pure, whiter than freshly fallen snow. His bride guards her dress from being stained by sin. She guards her relationship with Jesus by keeping her heart and mind fixed on Him and His Word. She rejoices in obeying her Masters commands and exudes in serving His servants. Her hands extend upward to heaven in prayer and then reach outward to her neighbors in loving acts of kindness. Her lips confidently and unabashedly speak truth. Her tongue sings praises to God and she makes music to the Lord with all kinds of instruments. She visits the sick and the lonely. She provides clothing to the poor and food for the hungry. She rebuilds that which is broken and finds that which is lost. She releases prisoners from captivity. Her heart is faithful. She allows no room for compromise. This is the church that Jesus is coming to take home with Him. For Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless (Ephesians 5:2527). To love Him is to obey Him. To believe in Him is to obey Him. Obedience is worship at its core. This book presents each of us with an opportunity to search our own hearts and answer the Lords question, Why do you call Me Lord?

Our God is beyond a one-name moniker. Identifying an unidentifiable God seems to be an improbable challenge as to who can describe a God that goes beyond description. Limiting God to a few names does not negate his power, but it does limit the power we allow him to have in our lives. What Do You Call Him? Unveiling 160 Names of God will unleash this power from knowing about him to having a relationship with him. Unfortunately, we lack knowledge of God not because of an unwillingness to learn but because of the limits that we place on his name. Learning more about the names of God allows for a transition from knowing about him to making him known. This book aims to give biblical accounts behind the meaning of 160 names of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit to help close the gap on some of the mysteries of God and truly determine what we call him.
