Longing for Daddy: Healing from the Pain of an Absent or Emotionally Distant Father Paperback – January 20, 2004

This book is really good! I'm doing a very long drawn out study with it, but had a real breakthrough point using this book, whew! She really covers a lot of different areas for women who had no father, or an emotionally absent one, or somewhere in between. After years of searching many ways to feel happy or contented in life, knowing there was something wrong inside, I found that God IS the only one Who Can heal a wounded heart!! I recommend it for anyone seeking healing about this issue.

I was so blessed by reading this book! I read it last year and it brought abundant healing for me. I've read many self-help books in the past, I honestly never experienced so much healing. I thank God that Monique Robinson has a sensitive heart for women and that there is so much poured out on this book!God bless you!

The author has SICK, TWISTED, TERRIFYING theology. Literally run. She says, “The abuse, the abandonment, the torture not only made you stronger; they furthered the kingdom of God.”. “We may think He's cruel, unfair, and unloving for allowing us to suffer, but it's a true demonstration of His love.”. “ Choosing to ignore the voice of the Father has consequences. Your world will be shaken. No matter how hard you try, you cannot run from God. He will allow turbulence in your life to get you to talk to Him.”. “ When I don't want to get on my knees, I ask the Father, ‘May we have pillow talk?’ He always says no when it’s an issue of laziness or if I really need to intercede on someone's behalf. Then I fall on my knees.”

This is the most impactful book I have ever read. It has changed my life. I don't agree with every word or everything in each chapter, but this book provides a roadmap to freedom for any who will follow it.

I would have given it a 5 star but I think that Jews and Muslims and Buddhist and Hindu can also have a close relationship with the Father not only Christians it seems that it also tries to promote religion and I think everybody has access to the father no matter their religion.

This is an excellent scripturally based book for you or anyone woman you know who (frankly) has daddy issues and needs to heal from old wounds in order to live the life God has intended.

Lots of Jesus in here... Wish I read the reviews before I bought it

Awesome with biblical perspective on any father issues or concerns you may have. Terrific for Christian based therapist as well.
