What some people say about the Father Meditations
- Rev. Geoff Pfaff, Senior Pastor, La Habra Hills Presbyterian Church, California, USA (Home ‘sending’ church of Jim & Debbie Mellis since 1988)Jim Mellis writes with a mixture of thought-provoking insight and warm faith as he opens up the richness of the concept of Father in these meditations on the Scriptures. Each time I have read a new meditation, I have been invariably challenged to think more carefully about some previously held idea - usually based more on my culture or some other preconception - while at the same time pushing me to go deeper in my relationship with God. I highly recommend spending time in these spiritually enriching meditations.
- Regula, Switzerland/USA (on Facebook)May I suggest these devotions to you? Jim has been my teacher and mentor during my time with Youth With A Mission. I appreciate him and his teaching a lot. Jim is very thorough and has the gift and desire to lead others to God the Father. I have benefited a lot and have started to go through the meditations again, now that they are being put online.
- Stephen, South KoreaThe image of Father I have thought wrongly was corrected by your teaching. Someday, I myself will be a father, and then your lesson will help me immensely. With the heart of our heavenly Father I will get to North Korea and all nations.

- Wilma Siewers-van der Veen, The Netherlands (translator of these meditations and some of Jim Mellis’ other writings)I have had some good responses from the people I asked for input on my translations of these meditations. And already I am seeing the impact on their lives, mainly that they are growing more confident in who they are before God. God is really using these meditations, and you, to empower his people. For me it is as if by reading your books and these meditations my understanding of God and Jesus’ death has become more complete. All the pieces finally have fallen into place. Jesus, as my Eldest Brother has brought me into a deeper relationship with my Father, with whom I can feel at home and who wants me to work alongside him.
