Get to know God as the generous Father who loves to give good things to his children. The great I AM, the true and living God, is a God who has the glorious habit of going about doing good to people, especially to His people. He gets glory from us by doing good to us. Many Christians do not know God like this. God doesn’t want you to remain unacquainted with Him as the God whom the apostle James winsomely describes as ‘the constantly giving God.’ Just the opposite. He longs for you to know Him as the God who is eager to do good things for you, like helping you say ‘No!’ to temptation, answering your big prayers, continuously forgiving your sins, enabling you to conquer fear, and giving you wisdom in decision making, to mention but a few examples. In Good, Good Father C. L. Chase lays out three steps to knowing God as He wants to be known. Firstly, you must immediately begin making a big deal of most Christians know but fail to take seriously. Secondly, you must begin emphasizing the Father’s method of doing good to you. Thirdly, you must begin using His promises to experience Fatherly good now. Your Heavenly Father wants you to live abundantly. His Fatherhood magnifies His love for you. He loves you intensely, openly, responsibly, enduringly, glorifying–ly. C. L. Chase’s book will help you to get to know God like this. Contents Foreword by Dr. D.

Dr. Chase writes with a flare that makes this book a page–turner. But more than that, he makes us glad that the Sovereign God of the Universe is our Father. And for that, I am grateful to him. More than I can say. -- Derek W. H. Thomas … an important, practical, accessible exploration of the New Testament’s theme of the Fatherhood of God. C.L. Chase makes the case that realizing that God is our Father is the key to unlocking greater blessing as a Christian. Read and enjoy! -- Josh Moody In Good, Good Father , Dr. Chase sits down beside you and looks into your eyes; and out of an encyclopaedic grasp of the Bible, with the passion of a dear friend, the calm assurance of an old sage, and the humor of innumerable anecdotes – spun from the porch chair, Charley assures you that God is good every day, all day. He reminds you that God is your Father and that He means to be your Father just as He is the Father of Jesus. -- Michael L. Carreker Charley has the ability to point us to God’s promises, helping us to keep sight of the love of our Creator…no matter what! I pray you will get this book, read it, and discover God’s faithfulness in all ways. He truly is a good, good, Father! -- Bob Hoffman In twenty–six short meditations, readers are invited to experience the joy of knowing the God who lavishes His love on His adopted children. His scripture expositions are clear, his illustrations sparkle, and his plentiful quotations draw on the treasures of Reformed writers who have thought deeply about God’s fatherly love and care for His dear children. -- Charles M. Wingard Through this book, C.L Chase has provided me with the missing puzzle piece I’ve needed for living the ‘abundant life’ Christ died to give us. Like a good Presbyterian, I have delighted in the truth that: ‘God is a Spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable…’ (WSC). Yet, as beautiful as these truths are, there has been a disconnect in experiencing God as my Father. As my friend Charley points out, ‘Jesus’ habitat was God as His Abba, Father.’ Read this book to discover how to make that your habitat as well! -- Cheryl Lutz Enjoy this thoughtful presentation from God’s Word that allows us to live confidently by the grace of God as revealed from the Word of God in Good, Good Father . -- Harry L.
