Author and pastor Dean Shropshire reveals cultural traditions and thought patterns that have driven many from the goodness of God and closeness with the Father. Through careful examination of the character of Jesus Christ, readers will discover erroneous ideas they have believed, perhaps all of their life, about the nature of God.
In the Old Testament the Father is difficult to access only the priests and prophets are close to Him. But in the New Testament, Jesus is the friend of many showing a new kind of unconditional love and grace. Now, through Jesus' death and resurrection, believers have received this grace to have a close relationship with the Father. But many still feel distant from Him.
Pastor Dean reveals the traditions of men that have driven many from very person of God. Some ideas are so ingrained in modern culture readers may not realize they are hindering their perception of the Father God. Pastor Dean takes readers through the Scriptures and uncovers a Father who is every bit the same as His Son. The amazing love, grace and truth Jesus revealed in the New Testament are the exact same characteristics of the Father. And He the Father wants His children to know Him as He has revealed Himself through His Son. Readers will be encouraged to open their hearts to a closer, more intimate relationship with their Heavenly Father.
