Description
God longs for people to experience unconditional acceptance and constant love. He is a loving Father who made each child and admires each one individually and uniquely. A father’s love is intended to provide security, protection, welcome, and direction for his children. And God planned from the beginning to be this kind of Father.
Children without good fathers have, at best, a void of understanding as to what it means to be a good father. At worst, their associations with a father include anger, fear, shame, severity, distance or apathy. These children can feel the special significance of being adopted into God’s family. They can replace faulty perceptions of what a father is with the truth of who God their Father promises to be.
Children who have good earthly fathers can learn how to relate to God in many of the same ways they already relate to their earthly father. This will help them understand God better and grow closer to Him.
The daily and weekly activities in this devotional are designed to help children understand how a good father relates to a child, and in turn, how God desires to relate to them.
Daily Topics include:
- A Father by Adoption
- A Father for Everyone
- A Father of Many

- My Father Admires Me
- My Father Directs Me
- My Father is For Me

God is My Father! helps children experience the Father and child relationship as God intended.

What Others Are Saying
“After using the other two devotionals and previewing the third, I think God is My Father! is my favorite!”
“I was looking for a devotional for my son who is 8. This devotional (God is My Shepherd!) was excellent. It was age appropriate, interesting and something my son enjoyed doing with me.”
“I have served in full-time children’s ministry for 13 years and this is by far the best devotional book I have ever seen for this age group! This devotional (God is My Shepherd!) goes much deeper than most and uses creative activities and carefully worded text to not just explain Scripture, but also help children discover how it applies to their own lives.”
