The Father Heart of God

Product Information

There’s something I wrote out in my journal more than thirty years ago when I first read this book, which has travelled with me ever since. Along with his 400,000 copy best-seller Taking Our Cities for God, John has written a highly acclaimed book Healing America's Wounds followed by Three Nations at the Crossroads, dealing with the issue of national identity facing Germany, Switzerland and Austria. I brought a globe to show you that the east and west are actually further apart than the north and south.

in the book we read of heart breaking real life stories and how these people found the Father's heart and were changed by it. In its pages you will discover that no problem is too great or too insignificant for your Father in Heaven.Good dads also take into account a son or daughter's age or temperament or peer pressure or physical health or school struggles or popularity issues. Whatever you become in the eyes of men, even a person of great authority, fame, or title, you will never cease to be more or less than a babe in the arms of God.

Because our relationship with our earthy fathers can shape the way we approach God, we may not even know how to relate to God as a father without trying to earn His love. God reveals Himself in the Bible as a gentle, forgiving Father, intimately involved with each and every detail of our lives. is the senior pastor of a large, growing church in Kansas City, Missouri, and the international director of All Nations Family. This book offers such a beautiful perspective on how God's fatherly love is perfect, complete, and healing. The body of Christ needs intimacy and transparent integrity before the throne of Father God for true sonship to come forth.Loved this book, as I had to admit I cried when reading this book, as it was a great book for me heading into Lent. This statement was spoken publicly before Jesus began His ministry or performed any miracles to achieve such an incredible comment. In addition to the core curriculum this program offers special break-out sessions for pastors and leaders who want to grow in shepherding well in these last days, giving “meat in due season” (Matthew 24:45).

This is good news, especially to religious types like the Pharisees (whom Jesus addressed), who were trying to earn God’s approval by their works. Far too few allow themselves to be driven by the broken heart of Jesus into the dark corners of this world where the poor and needy wait Jesus is not attracted to pleasant places, but to hurting people. Somehow, I received the message that God was upset with humans and Jesus protected us from his anger. When Adam and Eve, when they recognized their nakedness through sin, they immediately became fearful of God.

In contrast, our modern homes are stuffed with expensive and fragile furnishings and appliances that represent a minefield of potential rejection and rebuke for inquisitive toddlers.

As our Father, He feels our pain more deeply than we do because His sensitivity to suffering is so much greater. More recently, he has written What Christians should know about Reconciliation, a brief guide for the reconciliation movement.

Over and over again it has been the discovery of God as Father - perfectly reliable, unlike any human parent - that has brought freedom and healing. It takes time and revelation to understand the depths of His love for you as a Father, but it is available to everyone. If this revelation does not become so rooted in you, it will affect the way that you go about your Christian walk. He surprises us with those extra things, those little pleasures and treasures that only a father would know we yearn for.
