The Beginning of Everything

Before you can move forward in any area of your life, you need to have the courage, the self-esteem, and the strength to continue pressing through in spite of difficulties. This book is the beginning of ANY emotional healing, true, godly self-esteem, healthy self-love, courage, everything! When you gain a deep understanding of who you are, your value in God's eyes, His heart towards you, you can accomplish anything! This is always where I begin with my clients. Understanding who you are in Christ and how much God esteems you is critical for any true personal growth. A must read for any serious follower of Jesus Christ.

Very Insightful

This book is a very good and fast read. I recommend this book to everyone. I think that everyone should read this book.

Revolutionary Thinking in the Age of Victimization

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.

Thoroughly challenging and helpful book

I found "The Father Heart of God" to be deeply challenging and I would whole heartedly suggest it to anyone who has a desire to improve their relationship with God. Floyd is a fascinating author that punctuates the theological material with emotive real-world examples making the book a gripping read. Though he challenges many of the wrong impressions of God, this is far from being a negative book, as the overal aim is to build an accurate, biblical picture of God and His relationship with us.

An introduction to God as your heavenly father

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.
