mothers. Jack Frost helps restore
intimacy and spiritual health.
Jack Frost commented:
"Every child bom into this world
was created to he a son or daugh
ter to someone - to receive love
from a mother and father. Yet
many of us cannot say that we
have been true sons or daughters
to our parents. We often lose the
spirit of sonship. the spirit of sub
mission. as teenagers. We feel like
we do not have a safe, secure
home or a place of belonging.
And that loss of security affects
our earthly relationships as well as
our spiritual walk."
Pastor Alan Wright of Reynol
da Church in Winston-Salem
w rote: "Jack Frost combines God
given insights w ith his unique ?
ability to communicate in a life
changing book for anyone who
wants to really know God. It's not
the sort of book that one reads and
says, 'Ah. that was very good.' It's
the sort of book that one reads and
says. "I'll never be the same
again." Deep. Transparent. Win
some. Intimate. Such is Jack
Frost's message about the heart of
God the Father."
