The Heart Of The Father

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.

Neal Lozano breaks through the obstacles that keep us from growing in this pivotal relationship. He shatters fear and estrangement in his joyful exploration of Jesus's promise to show us his Father--and ours. It is a heartwarming journey, starting with the universal experience of loss and ending in the Father's welcoming arms as dearly loved children.

Maybe you're thirsting for a felt experience of the Bible's truth. Perhaps Christianity is irrelevant to where your heart is really at. What if you could : have an all-encompassing sense that you have a loving heavenly Dad? Have a sense of being enjoyed and delighted in by Him? Recognize that He sees you differently than you see yourself? Realize that who you are is more important to Him than what you do? These four experiences are integral to biblical Christianity. Discover what often stands in the way of them, and how you can begin to know the heart of the Father in a deeper way as he works these realities into your life.

"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."
