The Good Father Jeffrey E Ellis

AsI have grown in faith, I have felt like there was more. Reading Smith Wigglesworth, AW Tozer, Kenneth Hagin and Bill Johnson provoked me to seek more of God. I was dissatisfied, feeling like I knew about Him but didn't really know Him, personally. I wasn't satisfied with other people's stories. I wanted to know God, myself. I wanted my own Damascus road story. So, I went looking for Him.

And I found Him.

I found Him in prison cells and county jails, amidst the broken lives of inmates. I found Him in the songs of praise of forty orphans, gathered before school in the cold mountains of India. I found Him in a country church, in the lives of quiet, honest people struggling with life. I found Him in hotel rooms, on my knees, crying out to Him. I found Him in my own life. I found Him everywhere. Now, He is the father I always wish I had. He is always with me, guiding, comforting, teaching, and revealing more and more of Himself.

He is the ultimate good Father.

This book is my story of discovering God and, in the process, discovering myself as His son. My prayer is that He might use this to bless someone, to reveal Himself to sons and daughters, to win their hearts as their heavenly Father.
