"All of us live in the shadow of a Puritan God" (Francis Cardinal George) The Puritan God is distant and cold, rewarding the good and punishing evil. Fear of this God and his punishment easily become the driving force of the fulfillment of one's duties. On the contrary, Scripture teaches that "he who fears is not perfected in love." (1 John: 4:18) This little book is a practical guide toward experiencing the reality of divine filiation of joyful intimacy with the God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
