Young Resources - Your Father

Your Father

Your Father is an attractive 16-page booklet, written by Graeme Young, which explains the concept of God as our Heavenly Father as it was taught by Jesus. Illustrated by Richard Merritt, with a blue card cover and priced at only 60p, 'Your Father' is a popular gift for people of all ages.

Graeme writes:- "This booklet has been written because of a question that a friend asked my daughters, "What's it like having a dad?" I hope that it helps all you boys and girls who read it to know your Father in Heaven better, to feel His love for you, and to know your own special place in His heart.

"Your Heavenly Father Will Also Forgive You"

"For boys and girls who do not have a dad, or who feel that they miss a father's love, I hope that you especially will discover all that is meant in the promise that God made, "I will be a father to the fatherless." My dad died a few days before my seventh birthday - I know that God's promise is true."

'Your Father' is a useful booklet for many people. Firstly, 'Your Father' is for fatherless children. They are most in need of receiving the truth it contains. Graeme hopes that churches will buy copies to give away to all the fatherless children they are in contact with.

Secondly, 'Your Father' is for all children. Every child should have a personal relationship with Heavenly Father, and get to know Him as He really is. Where better to discover about Father than to look at the words of Jesus?

'Your Father' is for adults too. Many adults, even Christian adults, have faulty ideas about what God is like, resulting from damaged backgrounds. This not only obstructs their relationship with their Heavenly Father, but also affects their view of fatherhood. One church leader said, "I want to get these booklets for all the men in my congregation so that they will know what being a dad is all about."
