God: Our Father and Mother. A Look into the Spiritual Parenthood of God

By Beverly Holzinger

This rewarding research into scripture revealed aspects of God's nature which has allowed me to look to God the Father as my Mother
as well. The interpretation of God who is Mother throws light on the sanctity of motherhood; it brings the mother into the true image and likeness of God our Father. 
It also offers a more complete picture of the spiritual parenthood of God. 
I write here without a sense of fear or conscience that I am diminishing the majesty of Almighty God in any way.
