"You are my beloved son; with you I am well pleased" (Mk. 1:11).

Those were the words the Father spoke to the Son at His baptism in the Jordan. Those are the very same words the Father speaks to us every day: "You are my beloved son. You are my beloved daughter. With you I am well pleased."

An identity crisis plagues the world today. We have taken it upon ourselves to define the fundamental truth of the human experience - who we are. It is time to rediscover and to reclaim our truest identity.

Within the pages of this book are lessons and reflections I have learned as a beloved son of the Father. Through encountering the Father through the silence, Scriptures, and conversations with people I have come to a deeper understanding of who I am and the love with which the Father has created me and loves me. I invite you to allow the Father speak those words of truth and affection to you today and every day and to believe it: "You are my beloved one. With you I am well pleased."
