The acclaimed Christian author shares a devotional and thought-provoking exploration of God’s Fatherhood. We all experience a desire to run into the arms of the Father and feel safe and secure, to be able to know him and know that he understands us completely. If this kind of closeness to God has somehow eluded you, perhaps it has something to do with how you think about him. In this book, Michael Phillips takes you on a spiritual journey that will lead you into the arms of God the Father. A God to Call Father explores an often-overlooked aspect of our spirituality. It suggests that we are plagued by a misunderstanding of the character of God the Father—who he truly is and what he is really like. Following in the tradition of George MacDonald and Hannah Hurnard, Phillips weaves a beautiful allegory throughout the book, paralleling the path toward the intimate presence of God in your life.

When God chose a man to raise His Son, He looked for a man who would model His ways. In choosing Joseph, God committed Himself to helping him accomplish what was asked of him. He was not alone, and neither are you. God desires to be intimately involved in your life and is ready to be all that you need Him to be. He created you for a purpose, and His love for you is great. Just as Joseph was chosen with a calling in mind, you have been called as well.
