Most of us want to know God more intimately. But are we willing to boldly face the challenge of what that means? Are we truly willing to pray a prayer that may be dangerous in ways we cannot anticipate? Are we willing to ask God to make us like Jesus?
Author Michael Phillips shares from his own life how he has learned to take up that challenge. Then he examines key decisions in the life of Jesus Christ that illuminate what it means for each of us to be conformed to the image of God’s son—to love like Jesus, think like him, pray like him, and trust the Father like him.
If status-quo spirituality is for you, do not read this book. It is a dangerous book—dangerous to the flesh—for the journey toward Christlikeness may be painful and costly. Yet that journey leads to the ultimate purpose God intends for all his children: conformity to the image of his son.

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.
