The Forgotten Father (Paperback)

Paperback. Why does Christianity feel fragmented?Why do so many carry wounds from religious authority?Why does faith feel more therapeutic than transformative?Why has the church lost credibility with the world-and with its own children?These crises share a common root: the Father whom Jesus came to reveal has been forgotten.The New Testament is relentlessly clear: Jesus came to make the Father known. Yet today, fewer than 5% of popular worship songs address the Father directly. Prayers that once flowed to the Father through the Son by the Spirit now bypass this pattern entirely. Something essential has been lost.The Forgotten Father traces how this happened-through translation choices that obscured Hebrew meaning, through Constantine's imperial reshaping that severed Christianity from its Jewish roots, through centuries of gradual drift that displaced the Father with philosophical abstractions and therapeutic substitutes.But diagnosis isn't enough. This book offers a pathway home through seven ancient practices: Father-centered prayer, covenantal Scripture reading, worship directed to its proper destination, Sabbath and biblical feasts, covenant community, generous listening, and practicing God's presence. Not as a program to master, but as rhythms that restore relationship with the God Jesus called "Abba."For pastors, scholars, and every believer who senses something essential is missing, this book opens a door back to the center of the faith Jesus actually taught.This isn't an accusation. It's a diagnosis. And an invitation.The Father is waiting. Come home. This item is printed on demand.
