Our Heavenly Father A Study Of The Nature And Doctrine Of God
Author: Peter Green

PREFACE This book is in the nature of a sequel to my earlier book, Our Lord n zd Snviozlr. The object of that book was stated to be to help those who desire a more personal relationship to Christ than thcy have yet erijoyed. It would, therefore, seem right that it should lm-c a st qucl, 021,. Hfleur tirz F l r lllev. For it is the function of Ch... more »rist to reveal the 17atllcr, ancl no rnan knoweth tlie Father, save thc Son, and he to whomsoever tlle Son will reveal l-Iim. l But this book is not nercljr a sequel.

If the idea of a spiritual Being, external to the world, occupied any place in mens minds, which he regarded as unlikely, it would be a purely private and personal matter. To one l Matt. xi. 27. Isalm X. 4. ix who believes that the knowledge and love of God is not merely the best thing in life, but, in a very real sense, life itself, aad who regards religion as the root from which personal morality and the spirit of social service spring as flowers, such a view appears dreary and Philistine, incredible and unattractive, to the last degree. What the world needs is a great return to God, and such a return alone can save the individual from misery and society from collapse...
