Description

In a world of rampant violence, discontent, anger and fear, we ask ourselves, "Why is all hell breaking loose ?" Yet in the midst of our angst a voice cries out to us which has beckoned man from the Garden of Eden, when God said, "Adam, where are you ?", which is a question which even today begs an honest answer. As Adam tried to hide from God on that fateful day, so do too many fathers still try to evade their God-ordained responsibilities. But just as God clothed Adam and Eve with an animal skin, so He has provided a Lamb, Jesus Christ, who was slain for our sins, but also bodily raised from the dead. This book is a call to forgiveness to those who have been wounded by their naked fathers, and to fathers to heed the call of God in their lives before it is too late.
