Hey bud, you have any mushed-up peas, or something I can eat from a baby food jar? Chapter 10 starts out with a good and thought provoking question. At first, I didn’t know where Louis was going. We have had nine amazing chapters then a concept talking about baby food. What the heck??? God wants…

Ok deep breath Steve…last two chapters were amazing revealing our Heavenly Father. Scripture examples abound and make me smile more than ever.Am I excited. You darn sure I am!! At the beginning of the chapter discusses about us becoming like our father. At some point, wearing dress socks with tennis shoes like Dad used to…

Chapter 8 continues to reveal amazing how much our father loves us and has our best interest in mind. His infinite love ❤️ is shown in scripture over and over. I have read many of these passages in prior studies but none through the lens of our Heavenly Father. Jesus states on Sermon in the…

I did not relate personally to examples listed in the book. I have seen others in my…

This chapter listed several descriptions of who God can be but would be limiting. I could not believe all the various traits God has about himself but above all else. He is our Father. Jesus ministry discusses this several times. When reading the various traits and roles God plays covered in beginning of the chapter.…

Louis did an excellent job kicking off his book. He starts chapter 2 with a BIG question… The most important thing about you is what you think about when you think about God? This question came from “A. W. Tozer. In his well-known book The Knowledge of the Holy, Tozer says it this way: “What…
