Since most people come from less-than-perfect homes  it is often difficult for us to see God the way He wants us to see Him: as a loving father. Many of us are living out the legacy of father wounds inflicted during our childhoods. Healing the Father Wound makes the connection between parental examples and their effect on the formulation of our concept of God. Healing the Father Wound uses an integrated approach that weaves spiritual insights with practical realities. Readers will be taught how to address their father-wounds in a systematic process that takes them from identifying four common types of inadequate fathers to developing empathy for their fathers circumstances without losing their own validity. Along the way readers will also learn how to recognize a good dad  re-parent themselves  go through the forgiveness process  choose the kind of relationship they want to have with dad now  and look at how father wounds transfer into intimate relationships. Healing the Father Wound is the perfect tool for anyone wanting to learn how to move forward toward emotional and spiritual maturity  regardless of their past.
