Review

"Blending together biblical teaching, responsible research, and passion for prayer, Jim W. Goll has made a significant contribution in his latest book, Father, Forgive Us! Blockades to revival are identified and the way to remove them powerfully explained in practical and easy steps. Intercessors committed to revival will be benefited by reading this book." -- Mike Bickle; Author and Founder of Friends of the Bridegroom; Director of International House of Prayer - Grandview, Missouri

"Jim Goll's Father, Forgive Us! is an intriguing, masterfully written work. He has done the Body of Christ a great service by distilling the numerous teachings on corporate repentance. This book is destined to help release the destiny of nations. It's a must-read!" -- Dr. Cindy Jacobs; Co-founder, Generals of Intercession

"Using words like bullets and phrases as spears, Jim Goll writes a classic textbook on sanctification. Sanctification is learning to walk in the purity and passion of the Father's forgiveness. Forgiveness is one of the forgotten ordinances of the Church and a significant part of her foundation. This book is a road map to restoring the power and passion of forgiveness. How could we have neglected it so long? Father, forgive us!" -- Tommy Tenney; Author of The God Chasers

5.0 out of 5 stars FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, March 7, 2000

By 

Jim Goll (NASHVILLE, TN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Father, Forgive Us! (Paperback)

This is Jim W. Goll, the author of this book. I want to share briefly with you from my heart about this book. While the primary theme of this book is identificational repentance, a great deal of teaching is done here to uncover historic sins of the church and those particularly relating to us in North America. With a readalbe syle but with accurate research we delve into the problems of The Clergy Versus the Laity, The Gender Gap, The Genocide of the Jews, The First Nations Massacre, The Enlsavement of a People and the Sins of Greed and Idolatry. Read the endorsements - read it for yourself. It will be worth your investment and you will be given a heart cry to join in with me, "Father Forgive Us!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavens door needs more knocking !, August 16, 2000

This review is from: Father, Forgive Us! (Paperback)

There are due tears that have not been shed for years or even centuries. Jim Goll is about break us into tears through this book. He is just one of those who champions identificational repentance prayer. His effort is to build the bridge for the present to deal with the past.

Simple yet concentrated, Jim's message conjures up my mind that our forefathers are still prisoners of their sins and are moaning in their dark cells, longing their record to be cleared from the debt of sins. And they waiting for today's prayers to bail them !

This book is not intended for pleasure reading. It is a call to prayer action. The content of this book articulates compassion, mercy, grace, and humility. If you are ready for an inner conviction this book certainly delivers it. Otherwise it will only leave aching void in our heart if we do nothing about it as intercessors.

The curtain of this book opens by telling us that many of today's problems are the offspring of yesterday's sins. Our forefathers have left untreated relic that are perpetuating its effects in many generations to come, even till today. Genocide, racial discrimination, outbreak of war, street violence, and different forms of injustice all has its historic origin. This book is daring us to investigate its history.

This book will shift you from an audience to a team player paradigm. Jim shows us the way to delve into the spiritual sickness of our history rack and bring them before God today to be treated. He teaches us to recognize the source of today's problem. You will be surprise at how generic sins are reappearing through the generational line and cleverly façading behind the cloak of what we prefer to call "social ills". By the end of the first few chapters, I have learnt that no matter how meandering the tree of generation may end up to be, sin knows how to find its way through to continue its reignship. Put it another words, why are things happening today is because a diabolic work has been granted a freehold to pitch itself up, from yesterday's foundational sin, as today's ruling structure to manipulate mankind.

This book tells us we can dismantle this structure by releasing pent-up sins that have been left un-confessed for years. They are in fact contributors of today's sufferings. Jim strongly implies that some of these sufferings are not necessary and certainly not worth going through. They can be uplifted through a "new" utterance of prayer through identification, reconciliation, and forgiveness. By releasing an inward cry for yesterday's mistakes, we are building a pathway to restoration and the eventual of "Thy Will be Done In Earth".

We have hope. Heaven's ear is open to hear out the orchestra of intercessors whose desire is to cleanse past sins. Intercessor must simply have this book so that they can all join hearts and sound the same chorus as that of the theme of this book - "Father forgive us !"
