On one level, I cannot relate to this book. My dad was the best man at my wedding. On a deeper level, though, I certainly can. Blair Linne and I share the same heavenly Father, so we have far more in common than earthly indicators would suggest. Even the best dads, after all, only dimly reflect the Lord of love. If you are a victim of fatherlessness—whether his absence was physical or relational—this book will be a balm for your soul. Most important, it will crystallize your view of the greatest Father, who turned your criminal trial into an adoption ceremony and has never regretted making you his.
A personal story of learning to trust our heavenly Father when you feel your earthly father has let you down.
Blair Linne's personal story of growing up without a father at home reflects the experiences of millions. She weaves her personal story with thoughtful theological reflection, inviting readers to learn from God what "father" really means and to trust him, even if they feel their earthly father has let them down.
This book will help readers to shift their eyes from what they do not have in their earthly fathers (who, whether present or absent, loving or the opposite, can never be perfect) to what they do have in their eternal Father, who will never disappoint, reject or abandon them.
Readers will see that the gospel promises not just forgiveness but also a place in God's family, experienced in a local church, where they can enjoy the fullness of his fatherly joy, care, wisdom, provision, protection and security.
Also includes a chapter by Blair's husband, the Christian hip-hop artist Shai, on his own story of fatherlessness and faith.
