Seeing God as a Perfect Father: and Seeing You as Loved, Pursued, and Secure Paperback – June 6, 2023
Purchase options and add-ons
You are chosen, loved, prized, wanted, and believed in by a perfect Father. In Seeing God as a Perfect Father, Louie Giglio invites us to experience God in a life-changing way: as a perfect Father who wants you to live under the waterfall of His blessing.
How you view God informs everything about who you are and who you're becoming. In this updated and retitled edition of the national bestseller Not Forsaken, Louie Giglio challenges our common perceptions of who God is and points us to know Him as a heavenly Father who is not absent or ambivalent but is available and ready to embrace us with His approval and blessing.
Seeing God as a Perfect Father invites you to:
- see that God is the perfection of your earthly father, not a reflection of him
- discover how to walk in the freedom of your identity as a loved child, uniquely created by God
- break the chains of generational patterns by forgiving your imperfect family
When we take hold of the truth that God has spanned heaven and earth to reach us, we will no longer be defined by our pasts but by the love of a perfect heavenly Father. When we rightly see God's character, we rightly see that we are loved, pursued, and secured by the Creator of the universe.

Praise for Seeing God as a Perfect Father
Lysa TerKeurst, #1 New York Times bestselling author, President of Proverbs 31 Ministries
“One of the greatest heartbreaks of my life was watching my dad walk away from our family. And I know I’m not alone. Seeing God as a Perfect Father is one of the most important books of this generation. It will help you reclaim your identity as a fully loved child . . . of God! Louie Giglio shows us how to know God in a brand new, empowering way. I give this book my highest recommendation.”
Max Lucado, Pastor and New York Times bestselling author
“Some communicators speak to the heart. Others speak to the head. A choice few are able to speak to both. My friend Louie Giglio is one of these. He is both pastor and teacher. He certainly has pastored and taught me. His new book Seeing God as a Perfect Father addresses a deep need. May God use it to heal and help us all.”
Travis Greene, Musician and pastor of Forward City Church
“Having lost my father when I was younger, I know how powerful it is to know that God will be my perfect Father and that I’ll never live a day without Him. My heavenly Father filled every void and never missed a ball game, graduation, or birthday. I believe this book, Seeing God as a Perfect Father, will bring hope and healing to us all.”
Pastor Rick Warren, Senior Pastor of Saddleback Church, author of The Purpose Driven Life and The Purpose Driven Church
“Much of our worry stems from the fact that we don’t view God as a loving Father. Seeing God as a Perfect Father will help you realize how much God cares for you and is committed to taking care of the details of your life — you’ll learn to trust God more.”

- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2026Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseGod is described a with many amazing descriptions and characterizations in scripture but it appears to me that Father, Heavenly Father, is his ultimate identity. This reality is profound and foundational. Needed not just for churchgoers and the ones with good dads, but especially those far from God. Those who don’t know their Heavenly Father loves them. Great, great book. Thank you Louie.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2026Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseAmazing book, and I highly recommend it, but it arrived with a damaged corner. I bought it as a gift and it can’t be given in this condition

- Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2024Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseWhen you think of God, how do you imagine him? None of our parents were perfect. I never had a very close relationship with my father. I felt like he never really knew me. As a teenager, when I came to know Christ as my Savior, I remember thinking, "Now, I have a father!"
I am perfectionist. Thereby, I tend to see God as a perfectionist in the way He views me. As if, nothing I do is good enough. I just can't get it right. I know the truth. Our God loves me/us unconditionally. His love is full of grace. I don't have to get it right. I don't have to be perfect. I don't have to earn his love. He loves me because that's who he is. It is his character. God is love. But because it is a life pattern for me, I tend to fall back into viewing God through my perfectionism.
This book reinforced a healthy view of God as my perfect Father. I am his beloved daughter. He fully knows me and fully loves me!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2023Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis message is such a gift to anyone, but particularly those who have a strained or nonexistent relationship with their fathers. I thought about seeking therapy but God did a transformational work in me through this book. It helped me release resentment and give forgiveness to my family and myself, and truly receive His perfect love. The foundation for freedom and living a righteous life is finding everything we could possibly need in our Perfect Heavenly Father. So grateful for this truth and to Louie Giglio for sharing it in such an easy to read book.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2025Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThe book is very good, however may be suited best for someone that has had a negative experience with their own father.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2025Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseReading this book felt like a salve on some old wounds. Highly would recommend to anyone struggling with the idea of God as a father.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2025Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis book was amazing
- Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2024Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThe book allowed me to see that my earthly dad, wasn't perfect. I still had a good dad. But there was another all along. One that will never hurt me, ever! And that i should go to him for all my stuff. Thank you Jesus 😊

SReviewed in the United Kingdom on December 9, 20255.0 out of 5 stars Love this book.
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI really enjoyed this book. It was easy to read and helped me to reflect on who God is. Great for anyone who has had a harsh introduction to God or has experienced the absence of a father figure through loss/divorce/poor parenting etc.
Sabrina FevensReviewed in Canada on February 4, 20255.0 out of 5 stars Excellent
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseWow, Louis really hits you with the truth and the Lord does the work on the inside. I’m recommending to everyone who needs healing from father wounds.
GaryReviewed in Canada on June 12, 20235.0 out of 5 stars This will be a great book - What’s going on Amazon
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseLooking forward to reading this, Louie Giglio is amazing. I’m confident this book will deliver a word.
Side note Amazon, not sure why it arrived with oily fingerprints on front and back and looks pre read. The casing of the book is even damaged. That’s disappointing however, hope if that is the case, I hope the person received the message within.
