The Father Heart of God

Rating:
Summary: Revolutionary Thinking in the Age of Victimization
Review: In God's design of the family, the father serves the role of priest, prophet and king. He provides the leadership and vision while setting the spirit of the home. He meets the physical and emotional needs of those in his charge. And he loves his family with a selfless and undying love, focusing on their best interests.

The selfish nature of humanity, however, tears down this design with alarming regularity. Men (and women) create pain and suffering in families and other social situations through their self-centered pursuits. The fallout is generations of individuals who equate the actions of people with the heart of God.

In this book, Floyd McClung leaves no stone unturned in the process of turning people towards the heart of God. Mixing the truth of the Bible with a love that comes from his own personal experiences, the author shows the reader how God truly views His creation. With sensitivity to the pain associated with rejection and abuse, McClung lays out the facts about the character of God in contrast to the sinful nature of man. The stark contrast will leave the reader with only one conclusion: God loves me unconditionally.

This book is an excellent resource for counselling professionals, victims of abuse and for Christians who want to know God in a deeper way.

Summary: A Wonderful look into the Heart of God
Review: The stereotypical view of an angry God that looks to punish all inadequacy is confronted in this book. Floyd McClung, a man who has seen how the love of God can transform a person who seems the be unreachable or unlovable, has really put together a masterpiece here.

The author lives and works in the Red Light District of Amsterdam, one of the harshest areas in the world for people to live and work. This book teaches a message that all of us needs to hear and read and take to heart. This book is not one that you use to fill your head with many nice ideas. This book is about dealing with our heart issues that prevent so many from calling God, 'Father'.

This book is filled with stories from real life about how God desires to touch people's lives and love them when they are seemingly at their worst. I strongly recommend this book to all Christians and even to those who are not Christians or do not agree with the teachings of Christianity. In an age of self righteous religions, this book is a fresh relief from all that. This book is a call to integrity, not a call to do better things and then treat others badly. This book is what biblical, New Testament Christianity is all about. It's a shame that more books of this caliber don't exist.

Summary: Thoroughly challenging and helpful book
Review: This is an excellent book for people who are interested in having a more personal, loving relationship with God. It is said that 80% of a person's problems arise from not having a proper understanding of the character of God. This book helps you get a better understanding of God's character. I highly recommend it.
