“For both my fathers,
who art in Heaven.”
— Marianne Williamson, “A Return to Love Reflections on the Principles of A COURSE IN MIRACLES”
1. Comments to the above quotation
It does not seem appropriate to equate the “Father” of “Our Father” with your “father.”
It is presumptuous to take over Jesus Christ’s throne and to place your father in Heaven now before the Last Judgement, unless he has been canonised by the Catholic Church.
Your book is a “word” that you offer to the Word as referred to in John 1:1:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
Do not forget, Marianne, that even if your “word” is good in some respects, it is only good because of John 15:5:
“[Jesus Christ:] Without Me you can do nothing.”
St. Augustine of Hippo claimed that apart from his sins, a human being cannot offer anything to God because all good comes from God and without Him, a human being can do nothing. According to St. Augustine, the grace of justification is not given to us merely to make it easier for us to fulfill God's commandments through our free will. Rather, it is necessary because without God's grace, we are unable to do any good thing. St. Augustine emphasizes that without God, we are completely powerless and incapable of accomplishing anything on our own. (References A and B)

“That without the grace of God we can do no good thing It seemed good that whosoever should say that the grace of justification was given to us only that we might be able more readily by grace to perform what we were ordered to do through our free will; as if though grace was not given, although not easily, yet nevertheless we could even without grace fulfil the divine commandments, let him be anathema. For the Lord spoke concerning the fruits of the commandments, when he said: Without me you can do nothing, and not Without me you could do it but with difficulty.”

“The Desire of Good is God's Gift.” Book II. Chapter 18:
“For they have thought that it was to be objected to us that we say that God inspires into unwilling and resisting man the desire, not of any very great good, but even of imperfect good. Possibly, then, they themselves are keeping open, in some sense at least, a place for grace, as thinking that man may have the desire of good without grace, but only of imperfect good; while of perfect, he could not easily have the desire with grace, but except with it they could not have it at all. Truly, even in this way, too, they are saying that God's grace is given according to our merits, which Pelagius, in the ecclesiastical meeting in the East, condemned, in the fear of being condemned. For if without God's grace the desire of good begins with ourselves, merit itself will have begun — to which, as if of debt, comes the assistance of grace; and thus God's grace will not be bestowed freely, but will be given according to our merit. But that he might furnish a reply to the future Pelagius, the Lord does not say, Without me it is with difficulty that you can do anything, but He says, Without me you can do nothing. John 15:5 And, that He might also furnish an answer to these future heretics, in that very same evangelical saying He does not say, Without me you can perfect nothing, but do nothing.“
