Knowing the Heart of the FatherKnowing the Heart of the Father
Four Experiences with God that will Change Your Life
by Dr. David Eckman
Harvest House Publishers

A groundbreaking resource for growth in your spiritual life.

You're stuffed full of Christian information.  But where is God in all of it?

Maybe you're thirsting for a felt experience of the Bible's truth.  Perhaps Christianity seems irrelevant to where your heart is really at.  What if you could...

  • Have an all-encompassing sense that you have a loving heavenly Dad?
  • Have a sense of being enjoyed and delighted in by Him?
  • Recognized that He sees you differently than you see yourself?
  • Realize that who who you are is more important to him than with what you do?

These four experiences are integrated in Biblical Christianity.  Discover what often stands in the way of them and how you can begin to know the heart of the father in a deeper way as he works with these realities into your life.  Do you want things to be different?  See how these four great heart/soul transformation result in a vibrant, living faith that can stand up to the test of life.

Sex Food and GodSex Food and God
Breaking Free from Temptations, Compulsions & Addictions
by Dr. David Eckman
Harvest House Publishers

View video about this book

When good things created by God—such as sex and food—are misused to escape emotional and relational pain, the resulting damage, desperation, and loneliness can be worse than the worst nightmare... for you or someone you love.

  • With research support and biblical principles, Eckman shares

  • why unhealthy appetites take root in people

  • how to trade shame for a new identity in Christ

  • why commitment to prayer, confession, and growth protects us

As you begin to grasp God's radically loving plan to protect us, you'll find yourself wanting to run forward—away from aloneness and self-deception and into the arms of your Abba Father.  More Details...

Becoming Who God IntendedBecoming Who God Intended
A New Picture for Your Past
A Healthy Way of Managing Your Emotions
A Fresh Perspective on Relationships
by Dr. David Eckman
Harvest House Publishers

View video about this book

Becoming Who God Intended answers the heart questions of those who are deeply frustrated with their Christian life:

  • Is it “normal” that my emotional experience doesn’t match up with the Bible?

  • Why do I feel “alive” only when I engage in habitual sins and compulsions?

  • Do I just have to live with anxiety, anger, shame, and depression?

Every person’s “heart life” is filled with pictures of reality—often false ones, says David Eckman.  But as believers use the truth of their new identity in Christ to develop biblical pictures, they will be able to truly accept God’s acceptance of them, be freed from negative emotions and habitual sins...and finally experience a life that matches what Scripture promises.  More details...

Facilitator's Guide available free if you request it for use with a small group.  Place your order for your small group, and use our Contact-Us form to send your request for this small group guide that provides weekly meeting questions for each of the 11 book chapters.

Experiencing the Father's EmbraceExperiencing the Father's Embrace
David Eckman, Ph.D.

This 55-page booklet explores how growth in the Christian life is directly related to how well we respond to God, the first member of the Trinity, as a Father. Obstacles to growth often arise from one's family background. The solution is to participate in God's family so as to experience an emotionally rich sense of being loved and to have a correspondingly deep response of gratitude.

David Eckman paints for you vivid, biblical mental pictures of God's love. His simple yet in-depth explanation of God's Word reaches both the young and the maturing in faith. His gentle insights and questions will guide your heart through a personal and refreshing journey into the Father's embrace.
