Now My Eye Sees You: What a Doctorate Did Not Teach Me about God... My Son Did

Now My Eye Sees You: What a Doctorate Did Not Teach Me about God... My Son Did by Ammons, Greg. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780929292465.

Love not taught by a textbook . . . . 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 sons 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 fathers unconditional love. Readers will emerge with a fresh understanding of Gods boundless love for them and how His heart delights in intimate fellowship with His sons and daughters. endorsement: Dr. Greg Ammons, in many ways a modern-day Abraham, shares a story of Gods incredible love for every person through the joys and responsibilities of fatherhood. More than two decades before his son, Camden, was born, Greg Ammons preached to his congregation from Genesis 22, a passage describing Gods gift of a child in unforeseen circumstances. Now, the story Greg shares, built on his personal experiences, is told in a way that will strengthen each of our God-designed roles as a father. Gov. Mike Huckabee Former Governor of Arkansas
