Every Day with the Father: 366 Devotional Readings in John's Gospel by Mark Stibbe (2011) Hardcover

by Mark Stibbe

A profound, year-long encounter with the Father through the pages of John's gospel

Dr. Mark Stibbe fell in love with John’s gospel as a teenager. This set of devotional readings springs from profound reflection over many years on the character of the Father in this gospel. He writes:

In John's Gospel, Jesus is the Son who reveals the Father. He is presented to us as the one who came to show us what the Father is truly like. He says of himself that he is the only Way to the Father and the one who discloses the truth about the Father heart of God. Every verse of John's Gospel reveals the Father.

Stibbe has already unpacked the implications of the Father who has adopted us, embraced us in His family, and promised never to abandon us in his book I Am Your Father. Every Day with the Father encourages readers not to just learn but to live these truths.

Very interesting view of our creator. In the Bible, God is often referred to as Abba. I had always heard that this means father. Stibbe says the translation of Abba is actually more like daddy. It’s a very intimate form of father. Stibbe goes on to back up this idea using examples from the Bible. Will help you feel closer to God, no matter what kind of earthy father you had.
