Father. For some, this words conjures up feelings of warmth, security, and pride. For all too many others, however, the mere mention of the word triggers shame, pain, and anger. The relationship we have with our fathers has a profound effect on every human relationship we have on this earth. Furthermore, it plays a crucial role in shaping the relationship we have with God, our Heavenly Father. When Father is a Bad Word, by Dan Kuiper, will take you on a journey--a journey toward discovering a Father who we can trust, a Father who will never leave us, a Father who wants nothing more than to have a loving, intimate relationship with His kids. When our earthly fathers let us down our Heavenly Father awaits us with open arms. In His embrace we find the hope and healing we're looking for.
