The motive for writing this book is threefold: Section One, The Fatherhood of God, is because of my burning desire to get to know my heavenly Father in a more personal way. In Section Two, I want to share thoughts on our Spiritual Adoption into the family of God. The reality that I have not only been Born Again by the grace of God, but also adopted as a son into His family, is most precious to me, and is the reason I can call Him Abba, Father. Section Three This My Son, is the story of my restitution to God after twenty-three years of prodigal living. The longsuffering and faithfulness of God is evidenced in no clearer way than in the manner in which the father welcomed home his prodigal son. By incorporating these three subjects under one heading is fulfilling a need in my life. I do not wish to leave the impression that to know God is merely an academic exerciseit is not. To love Him is to know Him, and to know Him is to love Him.
