Jesus Christ taught His disciples to call God "Our Father," and to live as members of His family. Although simple enough for every Christian to understand this is also so profound that its implications take a lifetime and more to explore fully.

Yet, despite Christ's words and examples, Christians have frequently ignored or forgotten His teaching. In these pages, Sinclair B. Ferguson reminds us of its importance.

This book takes as its starting point the wise and thought provoking question of an old writer: "If the love of a father will not make a child delight in him, what will?" It underlines that we were created for joyful fellowship with God, and explains how we enter His family by new birth and adoption. Its chapters show how the Spirit of sonship, Christian freedom, divine discipline, prayer and the sacraments all contribute to our experience of the love the Father has for His children.
