A God to Call Father

A devotional, engaging, and thought-provoking journey of discovery into the high mountains of God’s Fatherhood, by best-selling author and George MacDonald biographer Michael Phillips.

If you long for a closeness to God that somehow has eluded you, perhaps it has something to do with how you think about him.

"Daddy! Abba!"

How many times have we all wanted to cry out those words to God, to run into the arms of the Father where we would feel safe and secure, to be able to know him and know that he understands us completely.

Would you like to know God in that way? In this book you are about to embark on a unique journey that will lead you into the arms of God the Father.

Not often does a book come along that truly makes a difference in the way people think and act. This is such a book. What we have come to expect from Michael Phillips is a great novel with deep spiritual insight. This is not a novel, but following the tradition of George MacDonald and Hannah Hurnard, Phillips uses his storytelling craft to weave through the book a beautiful allegory that parallels our spiritual journey to discover the intimacy and presence of God.

A God to Call Father explores an often-overlooked aspect of our spiritual life. 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.

A man lies down for a normal night of sleep and inexplicably awakens to find himself in a surreal garden bursting with fantastic aromas and colors. A succession of "tour guides" come and go, helping him to interpret the landscape's fragrant messages, each one a clue on the journey to discover his true Self, and, ultimately, the Creator of the Country Beyond. This book by famed author, Michael Phillips (over 7 million books sold), is the first of three spiritual fantasies, the second being Hell and Beyond, followed by Heaven and Beyond. In each book, the reader is challenged to set aside preconceived notions of death, heaven and hell, and enter into regions beyond the human imagination, worlds filled with surprise and discovery, fresh hope and infinite love.
