Was Paul contradicting Jesus? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstead of cherry-picking scriptures, adapting extreme views, and reviling anyone who sees differently, we need to get to the heart of the issue. \"Spiritual Fathers Or Brothers?\" clears up the confusion and helps us to understand the heart of both Paul's teaching and Jesus' teaching. While acknowledging that Christian leaders should share in the father heart of God, it also highlights the unhealthy dynamics that result if we go beyond scripture in our emphasis on \"fathering\" young disciples. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reader should have a more complete and balanced perspective by the end of this book, whether or not he fully agrees with the author's conclusions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Brenneman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1544267967\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781544267968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.13d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jonathan Brenneman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938379628799,"sku":"9781544267968","price":6.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8da6283f-c102-44e7-ac4f-bc594b0f2fcf.jpg?v=1681435347","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/are-you-my-spiritual-father-jonathan-brenneman-9781544267968","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
