These weekly devotions are meant for that exact need. We hurry through life and often don't take enough time to stop, allowing His words of hope, purpose, and love to flood us, sinking deep in our being, into our spiritual man, where Papa can then work in ways we can't imagine. "Come grow with Me," He says. "Come see Me. Allow My joy to heal and energize you. Then come be my echo to this world." He is calling you lover of God--"Get face-to-face with Me."

Face to Face with the Father is a chronicle of the men and women who saw the face of God and lived. In this work of Biblical fiction you will join men and women throughout the bible who experienced up close and personal encounters with God. Have you ever puzzled over passages such as Genesis 17:9: "And God said unto Abraham..."? What must that have been like? Does God speak to us in like manner today? Have you longingly envied when you read in John 21:20 how John the beloved "leaned on the master's breast at supper"? Have you wondered what Ezekiel must have experienced when he said in Ezekiel 1:1: "the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God."? Are such visions available to you today? This book is a work of inductive fiction. Reading these chapters will plunge you into the rarified atmosphere of a FACE TO FACE ENCOUNTER with God. Over the centuries Christian mystics have disclosed stunning accounts of open visions. Face to Face with the Father makes that experience accessible to you, the reader. Reading Face to Face with the Father will leave you undone at the feet of the Master. Each chapter will fire your passion for your own unique experience that awaits every seeker.

In this book The Face Only My Father Could Love, you will learn my life story about believing my parents loved me to finding out that wasn't the case at all. Not concerning my mom anyway. She didn't want me and didn't want my dad to have me either. She was addicted to pills but never admitted to it. I would find her empty bottles on occasion. She didn't like me and told me so, but most of all, she showed me. She looked for new ways of corporal punishment as I like to call it anyway. I thought parents were supposed to love their kids. The life I was forced to live by the hands of my mother led me to a life of trying to commit suicide to being involved with the wrong people and getting addicted to drugs to becoming the dealer. I never thought in a million years that I would end up in prison. Oh man, the things we see and learn in prison. I didn't know during all this time through life that my dad fought for me. Was it my earthly dad or daddy God that was the one fighting? Was there really a God? If there was, then how could he let a child go through some of the things that I went through? Then, I couldn't see the whole picture but I can see it clearly now. It wasn't about me at all. It has always been about Him. There is no other love than the love of a father.
