  Mark Stibbe points the reader to a story Jesus told over 2,000 years ago which demonstrates the qualities of a perfect dad. More than that the story paints the clearest picture of what Jesus thought God is really like. It provides a wonderfully accessible introduction to the Father youve been waiting for and contains many new insights into a story loved by millions and known as the parable of parables. This is a must-read for anyone who wants a direct, honest explanation of how remarkable God who created the universe and more, loves and is interested in an exclusive, intimate, life-transforming relationship with you. - Diane Louise Jordan

  The 14-35 year old age group has often been called The Fatherless Generation due to the absence of fathers through broken relationships. In the UK, 1 in 6 fathers no longer live with their children and 8% of all birth certificates do not reveal the father's identity. The consequences have been devastating. Roughly 80% of teenagers who commit crime have grown up without fathers and carry the deepest scars of failure and rejection--the absence of secure responsible commitment. Fatherlessness is not only devastating socially but also spiritually. Children and adults who experience abandonment and rejection, particularly by their fathers, experience a kind of father hunger which is accompanied by an intense fear of separation. Mark Stibbe demonstrates how he was healed from these feelings of rejection and abandonment and describes how we can all have a meaningful and eternal friendship with a perfect Dad.
