“Let yourself be loved like a son, let me love you like a father.”
Halfway between testimony and reflection – psychological and theological – this book traces the author's personal journey in search of God as Father.
For a long time, I mourned my father. But frustration gradually gave way to desire. To desire is to set one's imagination in motion, to anticipate the presence of the One who comes. It is to believe that He will respond to our need, and that our presence is dear to Him.
By moving from the search for a father to the discovery of unconditional love, the author saw himself as a new man. This discovery opened a path of healing and fulfillment for him, allowing him to truly become a father himself.
The author illustrates his point with numerous passages from the Bible and reveals an authentic secret of life: Accepting to be loved in order to be able to love in return .
