How great is the love the Father has lavished on us

Sinclair Ferguson is a master at giving you the big picture of a portion of scripture and then breaking it down and then putting it back together again. I am teaching through this book at our church and have found it to be very thorough. The first few chapters are so rich that we have taken several classes on just a few pages. This understanding, that we are children of the living God, is so foundational to our christian walk and needs to be meditated on so that we don't neglect so great a privilege. For the people of Israel the "access" that we have to the Father was beyond their comprehension. It is my prayer that you will seriously ponder these great truths that Christ died for and continues to intercede for us as our "elder brother" and Lord.

Must read for Christians.

This book explains clearly the Reformed, biblical understanding of the covenant between God and His children. For Christians undergoing hard times and especially for parents who have children who they worry about because they have yet to show signs of salvation this book is a blessing. This book leads the reader to Scripture that will strenghen faith and provide hope and comfort through the worst of the trials of life. This is a wonderfull book for counselors and pastors as a resource in couseling, instruction, or special studies. It is sophisticated enough for a professional theologian yet easy and understandable for the laiety as well. I continually run out of copies of this book because so often situations come up in people's lives where I know the wisdom and understanding in it will is the best counsel that I can give. I am here to order several now.
