I have had a hard time relating to this book. It’s mostly about his experience and his life. I thought it would be more about the Father’s Love and who the Father is. Some of the devotionals made me feel down after reading it and not uplifted or experiencing God’s love. It felt like a biography of his life more than anything. There are some great testimony’s in there and some might be able to relate however it wasn’t what I was thinking of for a devotional.

This book impacted my heart greatly in the way I see God as my Heavenly Father. This book will walk you through healing from parental wounds and will help you to see God rightly as your Dad and yourself rightly as His kid! Make sure you have a box of tissues nearby.

Every Christian Should read this devotional book
I found this book both painful & exhilarating to read & ponder. It was painful as you walk with Jack through his struggles in this Christian life & even more painful as you recognize that this is your struggle also.
It is exhilarating as you see the transforming power of God's unconditional love & offer of sonship change Jack"s life & realize that God is offering this to you as well.
It is honest, raw, & well written. It explains much in my own struggle. I would encourage every Christian to read it with an open heart & mind. Let the words sink in & listen to what God is speaking to you through it.
His love experienced as a son will transform your life.
Thanks,Jack, for such a timeless & encouraging work.

This book is a daily walk and gives you a message to apply to your life. At times it was painful to hear what it said and yet it tells you who you are in Christ, a son or daughter to the King. Great read and will go back to it for certain. Every one that wants to know who they are in Christ should take the time to read this book. It only takes a few minutes to read the devotional and it sets you up for the day. Thank you Jack for putting this work together so we can benefit from it.

An introspective devotional that brings personal experience in to the fold
This devotional is a bit of a mixed bag, but overall I enjoyed it very much. Frost brings a lot of personal experience, and some of his recollections of certain events are very intense and make you want to read through the book even faster than just day by day. His time fishing in dangerous seas makes for some fascinating reading, and his time reconciling with his family leads to some emotional passages. There is a lot of introspection and he admits to many of his faults that kept him from achieving spiritual peace of mind.
My only issue is that he seems to have become one of those pastors of the mega type churches, and those concern me. They seem to be overly focused on spectacle and not of individual deep faith. Perhaps I'm reading into this too much, but passages definitely rubbed me that way and I wasn't entirely thrilled by that. Overall, however, there's a lot of good reading here and I would recommend this to most people looking for a different kind of daily devotional.

This is actually a daily walk book. Each day of the year you are given a positive message and a daily prayer, to help you remember that you are a son/daughter of God and not a slave. Very inciteful. I actually didn't follow the daily snippets but found myself reading several a day. Didn't start on January 1st either. Read this along with other books as it a very easy read and adds to your daily devotions easily.

Wonderful devotional
This is a wonderful book! The author's writing style and life experiences kept my attention each day. His stories of the ups and downs in his personal and professional lives, his struggles with addiction, and family issues and dysfunction made him very relatable. The way he finally worked through his problems and reached satisfaction and contentment in his spiritual life, which led to serenity in all other areas, is truly an inspiration.

This book was a daily devotional that was also biographical in nature. For the most part, each day's devotional did not take long to read and included a verse from scripture and a short prayer. I enjoyed reading it each day, however, sometimes the stories were told over a several day period and some days really didn't have much of a point to make for that day. Overall it was a nice addition to my daily reading for the year.

Daily words of encouragement
Jack Frost weaves together his own story of God's grace in his life in a way with which we can all identify. These short daily readings give the reader opportunities to see their own lives as wayward children brought near to a loving God and adopted by Him by His grace.

One year daily devotional
This is a one year daily devotional centered in the father's love theme. The devotions not long and many was from the author's own experiences regarding father's love and attention.

Many Christians especially those in ministry can easily fall into the trap of relationship and neglect the whole relationship with the Father. This book does a profound job of bringing true balance to the Christian walk. Definitely, one to re-read every year.

I really liked the described idea of relations with our Heavenly Father as a spiritual orphanship vs. sonship and a transition to the latter, with accessible examples from the author life.

This book seems to be geared toward men. Could benefit men with anger issues. Theme is orphan spirit vs. spirit of sonship.
