“Lysa TerKeurst #1 New York Times bestselling author, president of Proverbs 31 Ministries “Much of our worry stems from the fact that we don’t view God as a loving Father. Seeing God as a Perfect Father will help you realize how much God cares for you and is committed to taking care of the details of your life—you’ll learn to trust God more.”
Pastor. Rick Warren
“When I first became a Christian, I had a lot to learn. Truth is, I still do. Thankfully, God has been patient with me through the years and shown me what it’s really like to be His child. But here’s the thing: He wants you to discover that same truth in your own life. And I firmly believe Seeing God as a Perfect Father is a great place to start.”
“Olympic gold medals, WNBA titles, and undefeated seasons could easily be described as the most important part of my identity. But it’s not! Knowing that I am a beloved daughter of a perfect Father literally changed my life years ago and it’s what I count on every day as a professional athlete. Louie’s Seeing God as a Perfect Father connects with each one of us as he so clearly points us back to our perfect Father. Open your heart and dive into Seeing God as a Perfect Father . . . you won’t be the same!”
“Some communicators speak to the heart. Others speak to the head. A choice few are able to speak to both. My friend Louie Giglio is one of these. He is both pastor and teacher. He certainly has pastored and taught me. His new book Seeing God as a Perfect Father addresses a deep need. May God use it to heal and help us all.”
“To know the love of our heavenly Father is both liberating and empowering. The message of this book is both timely and timeless. It will help to heal the wounds and fill the deepest longings of a generation.”
“I believe that God will use Seeing God as a Perfect Father to heal hurts in your heart you didn’t even know you had.”
“It’s all too easy to under-recognize, under-celebrate, and under-utilize some of the wonderful blessings we have as Christians. The amazing privilege that we get to call God ‘Father’ is likely toward the top of the list. Louie’s brilliant teaching in Seeing God as a Perfect Father is therefore such an important one—reminding us who we are as children of God and reorienting us in our relationship with Him. This wonderful book is a celebration of the Father heart of God and of the life-changing identity we have as His sons and daughters. You’ll love it!”
“If you’re looking for freedom from something done to or withheld from you, Seeing God as a Perfect Father will set your eyes on the One who redeems every wrong and stands ready to shower you with every blessing.”
“Having lost my father when I was younger, I know how powerful it is to know that God will be my perfect Father and that I’ll never live a day without Him. My heavenly Father filled every void and never missed a ball game, graduation, or birthday. I believe this book, Seeing God as a Perfect Father, will bring hope and healing to us all.”
“Seeing God as a Perfect Father is a powerful book that offers a revolutionary promise to us all. Louie beautifully describes a God who is for you and not against you, and he invites us to live as a loved son or daughter of the King.”
“New York Times bestselling author of Thirst: A Story of Redemption, Compassion, and a Mission to Bring Clean Water to the World “Seeing God as a Perfect Father is a powerful book. An important book. My friend Louie is right—what you believe about God is not only the most important thing about you but is absolutely crucial to how you live. Sadly, one of the most misunderstood roles of God is as our Father. I lost my own dad when I was only nine months old and know what it’s like to lack a healthy comprehension of who God is in that respect. But I have also discovered that embracing God as your heavenly Father can transform your life—filling you with the abiding reality that you are loved, wanted, secure, have a significant purpose in this world, and have an unshakable eternal hope. So I am grateful to Louie for writing such a thoughtful and timely book about the fatherhood of God. My prayer is that through Louie’s wise and powerful words, your eyes will be opened to the awesome, sacrificial love God has for you so you can comprehend who you are as His beloved child. Because in this truth is healing, freedom, overflowing hope, and all the eternal blessings God has for you.”
