About This Book

A father spots his wayward son a great way off and runs to welcome him home. The man in this moving parable from Jesus Christ represents God. The Father’s Love is a book for anyone who has drifted from Him, and for all of us who need to see His love more clearly.

This book will help you see God’s perspective and grasp His love—including:

  • The astonishing depth of the covenant God makes with you at your baptism, and why He holds out hope for you even if you have strayed from it
  • How easily you can deceive yourself and thus resist the very correction you need for salvation
  • How deeply God cherishes you, and how eager He is to forgive you when you turn to Him
  • The real purpose for which God called you, and what happens when you forget that purpose
  • The number one question you need to ask yourself to find your Father again
  • The pain of having a father who fails you, and what it means to have one who never will
  • The Father’s urgent warning of the suffering about to befall this world—including His own people—who refuse to repent toward Him
  • How anyone can draw close to God and spiritually thrive, even in this spiritually lukewarm and treacherous age.

The Father’s Love delivers a message every son of God needs to hear: Your Father yearns to be with you. It tells faithful sons how to draw even closer to Him. And it tells prodigal sons: You are not forgotten, you are not too far gone, and the time to come home is now, before it is too late. Your Father is watching the horizon, yearning for your return.
