Our Father in heaven. pause for a moment and ponder these words. Better yet, make them personal, "my Father in heaven". Let that phrase simmer in your mind for a while until it finds its way to your heart. What is our Heavenly Father like? What does He mean to you personally, and why does it matter? The exploration of these simple, yet profound questions forms the essence of this book.
Our perception of God as Father is most certainly affected by our relationship with our earthly fathers. This can be positive or problematic depending on whether or not our earthy fathers reflected God's character and nature. Living with a damaged or distorted view of God as our loving Heavenly Father robs us of the true joy, confidence and intimacy purchased for us by Christ Jesus. If we are to walk in all that God has for us, this central truth must lie as the bedrock of our faith: God is our loving Father
Through this book you will be introduced to stories of Becky's (Becky Misar, co-author) relationship with her dad, Denver Jones. These "parables" powerfully illustrate what God is like as our Father. Though Denver was not a perfect dad, he was a godly man who loved his children well. His life glorified God and will give context to the "father stories" you are about to read.
