A father asked, and he was answered
But Jesus overheard what they said and told the synagogue leader, "Don't fear, only believe."
Mark 5:36 (FHB)Jairus ran a synagogue. He had a title and people who answered to him, and none of it was any use the day his daughter was dying — so he went and fell down in the road and asked as a father. What he got back is four words, and in this Bible they are RED, because you can see they came from the Son's own mouth. Every dad knows the moment the job stops helping. This is what was said in it.
What makes this a Bible for dads
You have wanted a Father your whole life. Not a doctrine about Him. Not a distant power. A Father — His voice, His heart turned toward you.
Father's Heart Bible is the first Bible in print where you can see who is speaking.
Our Father's words in BLUE. The Son's in RED. The Spirit's in PURPLE.
For a hundred and twenty-five years, red letters have shown the Son speaking. Our Father speaks more than three times as often — 125,457 words across 5,623 verses — and every one of them has been printed in the same black ink as the genealogies. More than one word in four of the Bible is a divine person speaking. The color marks ownership, not quotation: His words stay His on any lips that carry them faithfully, words He never spoke are never colored, and narration stays black.
Jairus led a synagogue, but when his daughter was dying he came as a father and fell at the feet of Jesus. He was told not to be afraid, and his child was given back to him. Fathers who ask are heard.
That is what this Bible was made to do. Not to tell you about a Father who speaks, but to show you where He already has.
He is not distant. He is not disappointed. He is your Heavenly Father, and He delights in you as His beloved son. If father is not a word of comfort for you, this Bible is especially for you: the Father revealed here is no projection of broken human fatherhood, but the original, from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name.
An introduction opens each book, a Father's note closes each with a short prayer, and 1,354 notes serve the reader, not the scholar. A presentation page carries their name. Six by nine, hardcover, full color throughout.
A fresh translation from the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek — complete, 66 books and 31,085 verses. A gift, a keepsake, an heirloom.
Receive the Father. Hear His voice. His heart is for you.
Identity, intimacy, and inheritance for dads

Contents
All sixty-six books, Genesis through Revelation, with page numbers.
Intimacy for Dads
Before He asks anything of you, He asks for you.
- James 4:8
- Come close to our Father, and he will come close to you.
- Psalm 27:8
- My heart says of you, “Seek his face.” Your face, my Father, do I seek.

- John 15:9
- As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Remain in my love.
Identity for Dads
He named you His before you had done anything for Him.
- John 1:12
- But to all who received him, believing in his name, he gave the right to become children of our Father.
- Romans 8:15
- You did not receive a spirit of slavery, to fall back into fear, but received the Spirit of restoration, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”
- 1 John 3:1
- See what kind of love our Father has given us, that we should be called children of our Father! And we are.
- Ephesians 1:5
- He predestined us to be his own sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will.
- Isaiah 43:1
- Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.
- John 15:15
- I no longer call you servants. I call you friends, since I’ve made known to you everything I heard from my Father.
Inheritance for Dads
Sons and daughters are not paid. Sons and daughters inherit.
- Romans 8:17
- If children, then heirs — heirs of our Father, co-heirs with Christ.
- Galatians 4:7
- So you’re no longer a slave but a son; and if a son, then an heir through our Father.

- giving thanks to our Father, who qualified you to share the saints’ inheritance in the light.
Hearing your Father’s voice
You do not have to earn His voice, decode it, or qualify for it. You have to receive Him.
Our Father speaks
That is not a reward for the mature; it is what kind of Father He is. He has never been silent, and He did not stop when the last page of Scripture was written. He speaks because He is a Father, and a Father talks to His children.
- Hebrews 1:1
- Long ago, in many times and many ways, our Heavenly Father spoke to our ancestors through the prophets.
- Jeremiah 33:3
- Call to me, and I’ll answer, and tell you great, hidden things you don’t know.
We hear His voice
When you doubt your own ability to hear, trust His ability to speak. He is not a poor communicator, and He is not hiding from His own child. Notice that the sheep are never described as skilled listeners — only as His.
- John 10:27
- My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
- Isaiah 30:21
- Your ears will hear a word behind you: “This is the way; walk in it,” when you turn right or left.
- John 16:13
- But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth.
- 1 Samuel 3:10
- Then our Father came, stood there, and called as before: “Samuel! Samuel!” Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”
The foundation is intimacy
We usually come wanting guidance for one decision, and He answers with something larger: the greatest gift I will ever give you is me. Seek the Father before you seek the answer, and you will find you have been hearing Him all along.
- Psalm 46:10
- “Be still, and know that I am the Father.”
- Matthew 11:28
- Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Product details
Receive The Father. Hear His Voice. His Heart Is For You.
The Dad's Bible is a color coded Bible for dads, fathers, new dads and stepdads — the first Bible in print where you can see who is speaking.
Our Father's words in BLUE. The Son's words in RED. The Spirit's words in PURPLE.
For a hundred and twenty-five years, the red letter Bible has shown you the Son speaking. Our Father speaks more than three times as often — 125,457 words across 5,623 verses — and every one of them has been printed in the same black ink as the genealogies. He has been speaking the whole time. No Bible has ever shown you where.
Your Kids Come To You With What They Cannot Carry. You Have A Father You Can Do The Same With.
Jairus ran a synagogue, and when his daughter was dying he went and fell at the feet of Jesus. He asked as a father, not as a leader, and he was heard. "Don't fear, only believe." — Mark 5:36
A father asked and was answered. You are a father, and you are also a son with a Father who listens. It is a devotional Bible for daily Bible reading and intimacy with God, so you hear Him for yourself.
A Three Color Bible: Red Letter, Blue Letter, Purple Letter
The color is a mark of ownership, not of quotation. His words stay His on any lips that carry them faithfully, and words He never spoke are never colored. Our Father speaks 125,457 words here. The Son speaks 39,936. More than one word in four of this Bible is a divine person speaking.
Father Is His Name
God is our Father. Not a role He plays. Father is who He is, and Father is His name, the name Jesus came to reveal: "I revealed your name to those you gave me from the world" (John 17:6). This translation lets the Hebrew and Greek speak the distinction they always made: God as Father, Abba Father, your Heavenly Father — and you, His beloved child.
If the word father is not a word of comfort for you, this Bible is especially for you. The Father revealed here is no projection of broken human fatherhood. He is the original, from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name.

Why this translation exists
The destination was always the Father
Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). For generations the church heard the way to heaven. He said the way to the Father. The destination was never merely forgiveness, and never merely heaven. It was the Father Himself.
From the first page to the last, Scripture tells one story: a perfect and loving Father pursuing and restoring His beloved sons and daughters through the blood of His Son and by the Holy Spirit. Father’s Heart Bible™ exists for one reason: so you can hear that story in Father’s own voice, and come home.
Father is His name
We believe in One God in Three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. At the center of the Trinity is a Father. Not a role God plays. “God” is not a name. It is what He is. Father is who He is.
He is not one of many gods. He is not an idol. He is Father, and Father is His name — the name Jesus came to reveal. “I revealed your name to those you gave me from the world” (John 17:6). In Revelation 7:9–12 a multitude too numerous to count, from every nation, tribe, and language, shouts one thing: “Salvation belongs to our Father, seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!” The focus of Heaven is the Father.
Who never calls Him Father
Notice who, in Scripture, relates to God only as a distant deity and never as Father. The serpent in Eden, who recast a generous Father as a withholding rival: “Did God really say…?” (Genesis 3:1). The accuser and the arguing friends in Job, who debated a remote and transactional judge, until Job himself moved from hearing about God to seeing Him. Pharaoh, who sneered, “Who is God, that I should obey his voice?” (Exodus 5:2). The nations who served gods of wood and stone. Even the tempter in the wilderness aimed his attack straight at the bond of sonship: “If you’re the Son of God…” (Matthew 4:3).
The enemy’s strategy has never changed since the garden: to make the Father seem distant, demanding, and disappointed. For too long, “God” and “the LORD” left that caricature unchallenged. Father’s Heart Bible™ lets the Hebrew and Greek speak the distinction they always made, between a deity to be appeased and a Father to be received.
Hear His voice
For a hundred and twenty-five years, red letters have shown readers the words of the Son. Our Father speaks more than three times as often, and until now every one of those words has been printed exactly like the genealogies around them. In this Bible you can see who is speaking. Our Father’s words in BLUE. The Son’s in RED. The Spirit’s in PURPLE.
The color is a mark of ownership, not of quotation: our Father’s words stay His on any lips that carry them faithfully, and words He never spoke are never colored. Narration stays black.
The Trinity, rightly seen
This recovery does not diminish the Trinity; it clarifies it. The one God exists eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, three persons in one essence, and Father’s Heart Bible™ honors each. The Father initiates, sends, and gives. The Son reveals, redeems, and reconciles us to the Father. The Spirit applies, confirms, and pours Father’s love into our hearts.
Three realities shape how we translate, beginning at the very first verse. The incarnation: the Son revealed the Father perfectly — “Whoever has seen me has seen the Father” (John 14:9). Pentecost: the Spirit of sonship was poured out, crying from within His children, “Abba, Father” (Romans 8:15; Galatians 4:6). And the sealed canon: with the last book written, the whole story finally came into view — one Father, one redemption, one family.
What it is not
Not a paraphrase, and not an adaptation of any existing English Bible. Not a study Bible or commentary — the notes serve the reader, not the scholar. Not the work of a committee: every rendering and every interpretive decision is our own, and our own responsibility. Not abridged. It reads 135,000 words shorter than the King James because contemporary English says the same thing in fewer words. Every verse. Every book.
How it renders the divine names
Where a word for God stands in a clearly relational or covenantal setting, it is rendered “our Father.” Elsewhere the customary rendering is kept, and Adonai and Kurios are always rendered “Lord.” At Genesis 1:1, “God” (Elohim) is rendered “our Heavenly Father.”
This edition carries 1,354 notes across 777 chapters: 1,075 explain a word, name, custom, or background; 248 mark where the text reveals the Father; and 31 record a difference among the manuscripts. Where the original carries no divine name, the note says so.
Hearing your Father’s voice
You do not have to earn His voice, decode it, or qualify for it. You have to receive Him. Our Father speaks — that is not a reward for the mature; it is what kind of Father He is. He has never been silent, and He did not stop when the last page of Scripture was written. He speaks because He is a Father, and a Father talks to His children.
And you hear Him. When you doubt your own ability to hear, trust His ability to speak. Notice that the sheep are never described as skilled listeners — only as His. “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me” (John 10:27). He rarely shouts over the noise. He speaks close, the way a father speaks to a child in his own house — and the quiet of it is not distance, it is nearness.

Questions
What makes the Dad's Bible different from the other editions?
It is the complete Father's Heart Bible™ in Divine Voice Color — every book, every page, nothing abridged — in a cover made for a dad, opening with pages written for him. Those pages put it plainly: your kids come to you with what they cannot carry, and you have a Father you can do the same with. Passages on intimacy, identity and inheritance follow, chosen for dads. From Genesis 1:1 on, it is the same Bible every other edition carries.
Is this a family devotional or a parenting book?
It is the Bible itself, and that is the point. Before any parenting book can help you, your children need a dad who knows his own Father's voice. Receiving the Father, hearing Him, knowing His heart for you — that is where fathering comes from, and nothing downstream of it works without it. Here it comes to you as Scripture: an introduction opens each book, a Father's note and short prayer closes each one, and 1,354 study notes run through all 66 books. Dads read it for their own hearts, and at the table.
Is it a good Father's Day gift?
It is what the edition was built for. A 6 x 9 case-laminate hardcover and full color throughout, 876 pages, with a presentation page for his name and the date. It is a gift a man keeps rather than a book he already owns four versions of.
Does it work for a stepdad or a granddad?
Yes. The opening pages speak to a man raising children, in whatever way he came to it, and to the fact that he is a son before he is a father. New dads, stepdads and granddads all read the same complete translation — nothing is pitched at one and withheld from another.
What is Divine Voice Color?
For a hundred and twenty-five years red letters have shown the Son speaking. Our Father speaks more than three times as often — 125,457 words across 5,623 verses — and until now those words were printed in the same black ink as the genealogies. In Divine Voice Color you see who is speaking: our Father's words in BLUE, the Son's in RED, the Spirit's in PURPLE. More than one word in four of the Bible is a divine person speaking. The color is a mark of ownership, not of quotation — His words stay His on any lips that carry them faithfully, and words He never spoke are never colored.
Can I read it before I buy it?
Yes. Every word of the Father's Heart Bible™ is free to read online in twenty-five languages at fathersheartbible.com/read, with English and Telugu also free to listen to. Read Mark 5 tonight and you will see the color for yourself; the print edition is for holding, giving, and handing on.
