A profound, year-long encounter with the Father through the pages of John's Gospel, in the company of one of our leading Christian teachers.

Dr Mark Stibbe fell in love with John's Gospel as a teenager. This set of devotional readings springs from profound reflection over many years, but the tone is inspirational and popular. He writes: 'John is my favourite Gospel. In John's Gospel, Jesus is the Son who reveals the Father. He is presented to us as the one who came to show us what the Father is truly like. He says of himself that he is the only Way to the Father and the one who discloses the truth about the Father heart of God. Every verse of John's Gospel reveals the Father. 'Together we consider 366 texts and look at how they reveal the Father who has adopted us, embraced us in his family, and promised never to abandon us. The purpose of every daily study is to turn what we learn into the language of adoration.'

The Revd Dr Mark Stibbe leads the Father's House Trust, based in Watford. He has written many books, including the acclaimed A Box of Delights (Monarch) and is a popular speaker both in the UK and throughout the rest of Europe.

'A wonderful book which takes the reader through the Gospel of John by a scholar, pastor and man seeking the abba heart of the Father. Deep and theological, but also down to earth and applied.'

Every Day With the Father

The Good Book Stall

Many people feel that John’s gospel is ‘beyond them’ – too theological – too much concerned with concepts to be relevant to real life situations. They think that the Synoptic Gospels are more ‘people-centred’ and therefore easier to read and understand, and thus more relevant.  
Mark Stibbe tackles this ‘John problem’ head on. 365 mini expositions on verses from John in verse order from 1:1 to 21:2. In them he focuses on what he believes to be John’s treasures – the Fatherhood of God – Papa, Daddy, Dad – the jewel in John’s crown. His mission is to demonstrate how Jesus reveals the Father’s love – how Jesus is a window onto ‘the world’s greatest Dad’.  
I was drawn, like many I suspect, to see what Stibbe makes of John 3:16, which others have described as John’s Gospel in a nutshell. Stibbe encourages us to focus on the subject of the verb love – and that subject is God – and God in John’s terms means the Father. And the object of the verb is the world – in the Greek kosmos – the WHOLE world. God is wooing us – not coercing us – to a loving relationship with him.  
I can’t quite make up my mind whether this is to be seen as a book of days, to be read throughout a calendar year –or one to throw a slightly different spotlight on a particular verse or parable from that of more conventional commentaries. Perhaps it is not for me to decide: some people will use it in the first way and some in the second.  
What I do know is that it is a treasury bringing new jewels constantly to our consciousness.
