Journey with me through my life as I talk to God about my past, present, and future. You will see how beautiful life can be when God takes the lead. He's in constant communication with us, but it's up to us to listen, follow, and take action. In this letter, you will see Him speaking to me through scriptures and casual conversations. I had to give up everything to see that my Father was and is all I need. And even though this is the tale of my life, God's not done with me because the best is yet to come.

This book entails how the kingdom of God is expanding through convenantial relationships between the heavenly father and His earthly children. Sonship is not about gender but about a partnership of love between God the father and His children. God’s children must grow from spiritual infancy into adulthood in faith principles; to assume responsibilities as mature sons in managing the earth and its resources through the Holy Spirit. It is a must read for all persons who want to live in the abundant life as an heir to a King and Kingdom.

“How well do you know God?” The Bible has more than a thousand names, titles, and metaphors about God, your heavenly Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Why are there so many? For the same reason people have many titles and names on earth—each name and title represents a different position, function or characteristic...

We live in an increasingly fatherless society. Fatherless children are far more likely to be criminals or victims. In January 2009 Mark quit as the senior leader of a successful and progressive Anglican congregation, to found a ministry called The Father's House, dedicated to taking the Father's love to the fatherless. 'The task of the family of God is to take the Father's love to the fatherless. To do this, those who are already members of God's family need to have their father wounds healed. This book will help those with hearts broken by their earthly fathers to find in their Heavenly Father the love of all loves.' In Part 1, Mark describes the different ways in which fathers can hurt their children. In Part 2, he goes deeper, defining the wound as 'the orphan heart' and describing the main symptoms of this condition in peoples' lives. In Part 3, he shows how Christians can find true healing through experiencing the Spirit of adoption.

The poet ceases. Something has changed. He has reached his goal but somehow remains undone. His soul has received as nourishment the odes he writes, yet he cannot rest. Or might it be possible that rest has now become enduring and no change appears to mind? Either way, he has been instructed to stop. Something has been completed even if not him. He counts the manuscripts upon the shelf. They are nine in number and the digit feels complete. The nine play host to more than one thousand of the odes, each and every one a blessing to be discovered and savored. The nine are now prepared and ready to be given at spirit's insistence. The poet must consider the musings done for now. He must move on to the next thing, to whatever his Guide deems essential. But what shall he call this ninth child? Is it an ending or merely a stopover, a brief respite from the work? The poet knows not but he wishes to know. He needs to comprehend this final step in this progression he has been subsumed by for the last two years. Yet he receives no reply, no answer, no direction except the simplicity of a title. Call it The Final Step, he is told; nothing more. It will conclude what must be never concluded for want of a better vision. But what does it say to me now that I must move on, he queries? It says nothing more than this: Forgiveness is my quest Clarity, my goal Peace to daily attend me Love to make me whole
