Most of us have a personal relationship with Jesus, but how well do we know God the Father? Are we able to call him “Abba,” as Jesus did? Did we have a complicated relationship with our earthly father that keeps us distant from our Father? How do we look at the Father when we are dealing with grief and loss? Scripture scholar and popular author George Montague touches on these questions and more in twenty beautifully written reflections that provide rich insights into the love at the heart of the Trinity. Montague uses everyday examples to help us to envision what that awesome relationship is like between Father and Son and how they long, through the Holy Spirit, to bring each one of us into their communion of love. This is a book you will want to read again and again.

"The Heart of the Father is a must read for those who want to be enlightened by the power of true paternity. This is a book with a clear and direct message that captures in a simple, but profound way, one of the most important and least understood themes of the 21st Century in the Body of Christ. Pastor Joshua Rodriguez manages to inspire us and assist us in evaluating our relationships through his own experience during a time when true paternity has been distorted by men-lovers of themselves-who have confused paternity with paternalism. Like Esther, God has enlightened the author to create this literary jewel in a time like this, arriving to the rescue of many sons and daughters that await the heart of a true father. This book should be a part of every minister's personal library." Roberto Candelario, Senior Pastor Centro Internacional de la Familia Cristiana, Orlando, Florida Author Bio: Joshua Rodriguez serves as the Senior Pastor at The Cityline Church, one of the fastest growing bilingual ministries in the Northeast of the United States.

Every father has a hidden longing to see his children surpass him. To help him achieve this, Ken Canfield offers a three-part plan. First, a dad should examine his own heart. Next, he should take steps to improve the way he connects with his children. Lastly, he should take a longer range view and plan specifically for a lifetime of involved fathering. Canfield's plan addresses a father's past-a father should resolve his relationship with his own father in order to effectively build a relationship with his children. Canfield also explains how to build the four "walls" or dimensions, of fathering: involvement, awareness, consistency, and nurturing. He then supplies a plan for the future. From being a new father to being a grandfather, dads face challenges at each stage of their life. With the long-range perspective this book provides, fathers can anticipate and prepare for the changing situations they'll face. Based on years of careful research involving thousands of fathers, this book is a solid reference tool for dads.

We live in an increasingly fatherless society. Fatherless children are far more likely to be criminals or victims. In January 2009 Mark quit as the senior leader of a successful and progressive Anglican congregation, to found a ministry called The Father's House, dedicated to taking the Father's love to the fatherless. 'The task of the family of God is to take the Father's love to the fatherless. To do this, those who are already members of God's family need to have their father wounds healed. This book will help those with hearts broken by their earthly fathers to find in their Heavenly Father the love of all loves.' In Part 1, Mark describes the different ways in which fathers can hurt their children. In Part 2, he goes deeper, defining the wound as 'the orphan heart' and describing the main symptoms of this condition in peoples' lives. In Part 3, he shows how Christians can find true healing through experiencing the Spirit of adoption.
