Chapter 6: Being Fathered

If we are going to recover being the Beloved Son, then recovering how good God is (not just in theory or theology) by experiencing Him is crucial. This chapter covers some of the same relationship themes addressed in chapter 3, but this time from the Father’s side of the relationship with HIS Beloved Sons.

We revisit why this life is hard, how it is misunderstood and not enjoyed, and how very few men are oriented and experience the truth that will set them free. Introduced in this chapter are the ideas that it is because we are fallen and thus live outside the garden and contend with the false self, that we must encounter God as Father. Along the journey, a man will experience and experiment with things outside of who he is and for whom he was made. God will remedy all that is fallen, broken, and wounded with and through His LOVE.

This chapter really turns into LOVE and the expressions of God’s Love for us in tan- gible ways if we can see, hear, and discern.
