Three degrees in theology, years in the pastorate, daily immersion in the Scriptures: they all taught Greg Ammons head knowledge of God. But not until he and his wife, Lisa, became late-in-life, first-time parents with the birth of their son, Camden, did Greg truly "see"—experience the matchless understanding of—the God he had worshiped and served for decades.
After years of barrenness ended with his son's miracle birth, Greg suddenly began to experience love from the role of a father personally. His book draws comparisons between his relationship with his son and that of his God in such areas as obedience and disobedience, spending time together, parental pain, teaching a child to walk, the sinful nature, and a father's unconditional love.
Readers will emerge with a fresh understanding of God's boundless love for them and how His heart delights in intimate fellowship with his sons and daughters.
During his 27 years in vocational ministry Greg Ammons has preached, served as a senior pastor, taught theology at the graduate level, and advised as a church-growth consultant. Currently he is senior pastor of First Baptist Church, Garland, TX.
