Father & His Family:

The information in the book is amazing. Amazing that it was writen before EW Kenyon's death in 1948. Amazing that the information has been available for 60 years. Amazing that Christians STILL have been kept in the dark concerning the truths unfolded in this book.

I love all of E. W. Kenyon's books, but this one is MY FAVORITE. Hands down. Here's why... "Christianity is not a religion: it is a family, a Father and His children. It differs from all the religions of the world in this respect." (p. 11) That one great truth from the pen of Kenyon sweeps away centuries of dogma and misconceptions and enlightens our hearts. God does not want us to be religious. He wants us to WALK WITH HIM! "Grace reigns on the basis of justice...This gives a dignity and beauty to Christianity that no other religion has. It gives a manliness and virility to Christianity..." (p. 138-139)." Listen to Kenyon's further insights: "We are God's Family representatives on the earth...As members of the Family, we are to minister to each other and watch over each other in love...God desires to live with His children." (p. 182) When I was born again in a James Robison Crusade years ago, my first new awareness was that God is now my Father! And this book by Kenyon really opens that up from the Word. Kenyon is one of our site's "Christian Superheroes," and he will be one of yours, too! Get The Father and His Family and study it. Kenyon will show you your sonship in Christ and God's Father Heart! You will really love this book!

In Joe McIntyre's book about Kenyon, he indicates that this book was John G. Lake's favorite book next to the Bible. This endorsement, by a contemporary who walked in extraordinary power and faithfulness, got me to buy the book, and I have not been disappointed. In this book, Kenyon builds Christian belief up chapter by chapter. This book contains a lot of revelation. For example, he brings some wonderful truths out of the book of Job in talking about man's need for a mediator. There is also a revelation about women taken from Genesis that has permanently changed for the better the way I look at my wife and women in general. What is so powerful about this book, however, is that it will cause you to take your faith out of self and place it in Christ. The Chapter on the New Birth really did a lot for me, and just got me to think more in the lines of believing in being born again and confessing and believing that into action instead of trying work and be good. It helped cure that nagging about being saved. The book builds and builds until at the end Kenyon displays what it would be like to think and act like Sons of God. Things to know:1. A more descriptive title would have been something like "A Systematic Theology of Faith in Jesus" The family is not a major theme of the book, though it is the frame that he looks through. 2. Each chapter is short and ends with some study questions, making this a great book to work through with a class or new believer. Doing so would certainly be powerful. 3. Kenyon has an unusual style of writing-- the paragraphs are very short, often one sentence only. This gives more impact to what he says, but it can also be distracting to some. This is a wonderful book that if you can get a hold of the key truths will really help set you free in Christ, and develop a system of thinking that is more in line with God and less in line with man. I highly recommend it for deeper thinkers and people that *study* the Bible, or are searching for the Gospel that will bring power and life.

E.W. Kenyon truly has a way with communicating the depth of God's Word with simplicity. In this book, the story of man's redemption and the spiritual freedom wrought by Christ are clearly laid out for any child of God to understand. Throughout this book it is evident that Kenyon has a great love and respect for the Word of God. This is a book to read and re-read as your understanding of your position in Christ grows.Kenyon covers the reason for creation, man's treason, the dominion of death, man's need for a mediator, the sin bearer, the new birth, the family of God, the household of God, claiming your rights and many more topics. While many of these truths are expounded by many writers, few have communicated them as simply, as eloquently and as lovingly as E.W. Kenyon.
