Abba's Heart: Finding Our Way Back to the Father's Delight

No matter what our personal history or experience may have been, the fundamental cry of each human heart is to be unconditionally loved and accepted. The great news is that this experience can be a reality that is possible through the relationship with God our Father. In this timely message, Matt and Neal Lozano have clearly laid out the obstacles that block, and the paths that enable us to enter into this incredible journey.

My heart overflows with joy in the knowledge that my Father rejoices over me and is completely with me and for me. This book has been food for my soul, the real GOOD NEWS declared- of my place in a good home with a good Father. It has been a tool for deeper reflection and prayer to draw me into an even more profound encounter with the Father. This place of security and favor is available for each one of us.

As a therapist, this is the message I so long to share. True healing and freedom can come from knowing the total and perfect love of the Father. I have witnessed dramatic healing and renewal of hope and joy as clients encounter the goodness and love of their eternal Father. I encourage my clients and anyone who wants to grow in peace and confidence to read this book. Read it, meditate on it, and talk to your Father.

Then lets bring this truth to a world that hungers to know that we are not orphans!

The heart of the Good News of Jesus is that the heart of the Father is open and available as we accept His Son. Yet, don't all of us question at times who we really are, who God really is, and what God really thinks of me? Every human heart is destined to ask these questions at one point or another and blessed is that heart that hears the voice of the Father who answers: you are precious, you are mine, you are loved..you are my child. To know who you are is to know whose you are. Abbas Heart poignantly and powerfully presents the Gospel message of Jesus revelation of the Father --- a Father who is the source of our very life, identity and destiny. Abbas Heart is a truly catholic book in that it shares the mission and message of Jesus in its universal context --- the story of the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who is the Lord and Father of us all. I highly recommend this book to all believers, seekers, doubters, and skeptics. The Holy Spirit has inspired the Lozanos to share their hearts in a way that can lead each of us home to Abba's Heart! Read and share it with someone you care about! You will be blessed!

Many Christians have a difficult time embracing the fatherhood of God. How do we approach the heart of the Father and heal the wounds our earthly father may have left?

The Lozanos have written this book with the purpose of drawing us to the heart of the Father and helping us deal with those issues that stand in the way. They explore how the character of the Father is revealed, freedom from the slavery we were in, forgiveness, our identity in Christ, and many other topics dealing with God's heart. They also write about walking in the authority of God as Father. God desires to reestablish His dominion through you.

They share their own experiences and those of others that are very inspiring.

I appreciate the teaching the Lozanos have given. It was interesting to read some of the testimonies where people had instant freedom from the issues that kept them from experiencing God as Father on a personal level. There were others that struggled. That is something we must realize, that we still have to make choices. We must turn away from false ideas and follow the Holy Spirit's leading. For some, that may be a lengthy process. The authors give narratives, contemplative reflections, and personal prayers to facilitate the journey.

This is a good book for those who have trouble embracing the fatherhood of God. You will be encouraged to turn from any bad images you have of fatherhood, perhaps from your own experiences. You will be encouraged to embrace your identity in Christ and that you are a child of your heavenly Father. You will also be encouraged to live out that identity. This is not a cure all book that will instantly cause you to lovingly embrace your heavenly Father. It will, however, give you the information and encouragement you need to take the steps to approach the Father as One who loves you.

Food for thought: It is only in the Father, who is revealed by the Son, that we can know who we really are.

I received a complimentary egalley of this book from the publisher for the purpose of an independent and honest review.
