Knowing God the Father Through the Old Testament by Christopher J H Wright
It's almost second nature for Christians to call God Father. Jesus taught his followers as much, although for them it was apparently a surprising practice.

In Knowing God the Father Through the Old Testament, Christopher Wright explores in depth the images that pervade the biblical narratives, psalms and prophetic texts of the Old Testament. God is acknowledged as tender yet terrifying, challenging to the nations and yet intimately personal, offering loving care, provision, discipline and forgiveness.
