I am Your Father: What every heart needs to know

We live in an increasingly fatherless society. Fatherless children are far more likely to be criminals or victims.

In January 2009 Mark quit as the senior leader of a successful and progressive Anglican congregation, to found a ministry called The Father's House, dedicated to taking the Father's love to the fatherless.

'The task of the family of God is to take the Father's love to the fatherless. To do this, those who are already members of God's family need to have their father wounds healed. This book will help those with hearts broken by their earthly fathers to find in their Heavenly Father the love of all loves.'

In Part 1, Mark describes the different ways in which fathers can hurt their children.

In Part 2, he goes deeper, defining the wound as 'the orphan heart' and describing the main symptoms of this condition in peoples' lives.

In Part 3, he shows how Christians can find true healing through experiencing the Spirit of adoption.

The Revd Dr Mark Stibbe leads the Father's House Trust, based in Watford. He has written many books, including the acclaimed A Box of Delights (Monarch) and is a popular speaker both in the UK and throughout the restof Europe.
