Excerpt from The Fatherhood of God: In Christian Truth and Life In addition to all this, I feel how inadequate any treat ment of so great a subject must be, and especially my own. Yet, such as it is, I send this volume forth, in the hope that it may throw some light upon the ways of God with men, and may help some who are seeking a View of Christian theology comprehensive enough to include and harmonise many elements of truth, which, seen in isolation, become distorted and misleading. Especially, as one whose time is given to social and administrative work, I feel it to be a duty resting upon me to give expression to that conception of God's relationship to, and dealings with, mankind in Christ which supplies, to me at least, the principles upon which social work should be based. Only the doctrine of the Fatherhood of God, seen in its full significance, can unite men's efforts in every sphere of life in a consistent whole. For the lack of this, many are greatly perplexed and distracted by the seemingly rival claims of Spiritual work and of the motives of natural and generous sympathy. It is of great importance to seek a reconciliation between the two. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Lack of identity is a real problem today. Broken relationships between parents and children have produced an identity crisis. In this book, Derek Prince explains God's relationship to us as Father. Human fatherhood is designed to mirror that relationship. Fatherhood, in a certain sense, is the most God-like quality a man can reproduce. It is a man's highest achievement. A good father will imitate the three main ministries of Christ - as a priest, prophet and king. Are fathers today willing to accept responsibility for their families? The decision of the fathers will determine the destiny of the nation!
