Our Father-Our Teacher
Christopher J Reeves
September 2022 9781666745474DESCRIPTION:
From the beginning, God created men and women in his own image, as
the objects of his love. His intention has been to father mankind,
raising us as his children. While the intimacy of this relationship
was broken through the fall, our Father has never stopped loving
us. His faithful lovingkindness is unchanged. And through Jesus we
not only see the intimate relationship of Father and Son as the
divine pattern but we find ourselves restored as children in his
household. Through Jesus we can experientially live in relationship
with our Father and, through the working of the Holy Spirit within,
affectionately call him our Abba. The greatest opportunity is now
afforded to us—to walk in loving intimacy with our Father as he
raises us, teaches us his ways, and matures within us his divine
nature of other-centered love. Our Father, Our Teacher is a
biblical exploration of how God is drawing men and women to himself
in an experiential relationship of love and learning.
REVIEWS:
"In Our Father, Our Teacher, Chris Reeves offers us an engaging and
serious journey through Scripture, unpacking biblical texts
revealing God as our Father and teacher. This book offers a deep
spiritual inquiry into the multifaceted theology of God. It's worth
reading!"
--Igal German, Moody Theological Seminary
"Since the beginning, God has been about the work of reconciliation. The coming together of 'made in his image' and 'revealed Son.' In Our Father, Our Teacher, Reeves documents markers to look for and examine along this learning process. If you are ready for some confrontations with grace in your learning journey, you want a copy of Our Father, Our Teacher."
--Ivy Bonk, educational consultant
"Finally, a book to draw us into the embrace of the Father. Chris Reeves joins with Jesus and the Spirit in calling us to listen to the heart of the Father and know who we are as beloved children. This book calls us to consider afresh the ancient invitation to personally know the One who created the world and gives us life today. Read and discover the Father who has been pursuing you."
--Marty Folsom, author of the Face-to-Face series
"We hear about God as Father. We hear about God as teacher. But seldom do we see the connection between the two. Chris Reeves gives us a gift by unfolding a view of the Father as teacher--and what it means to grow as sons in his family."
--Ana Wood, pastor, Table of Friends Church
"One of the first verses I ever memorized was 'He who loves not knows not God for God is love.' By 'paint[ing] a broad picture showing the consistency of the unfolding revelation of God as our Father, ' Our Father, Our Teacher brings that verse to life. Chris Reeves not only gives us a fresh revelation of who God is, but he also helps us to experience God's love in an even deeper way."
--Greg Wallace, president, KG Ministries
"Chris writes with deep passion about the eternal love that Abba has for his children, who are created in his image. Every page gives clear insights and understanding of the Father's desire to be in intimate relationship with each of us and to teach us what it means to participate in the divine romance of the Trinity."
