Resources for Receiving our Father’s Heart
Everything on this page exists to help you know one thing: our Father’s heart for you. Here you’ll find Scripture you can read and hear free — in a translation that reveals the father heart of God — God as a loving Father — on every page — plus verse collections, beginner guides, an honest reading list of the father-heart classics, a short film, a community to read with, and print editions to hold. Nearly all of it is free. Start with one chapter and one guide; the rest will be here when you need it.

Frequently asked questions
What resources are available for the father heart of God?

Are these resources free?
Almost all of them. The Father's Heart Bible™ is completely free to read and listen to online — no app, no account, no cost — and the verse collections, guides, blog, film, and a downloadable book in the resource library are free as well.
