DADDY’S GIRL FOREVER BOOK COLLECTION
God wants you to know just how much you mean to him.
With this collection, Vanessa helps the wounded girl in you find the love, identity and acceptance only a father can give, in the only Father who does it faithfully, God himself.
If you’ve struggled to prove your value, let God the Father show you your worth.
I DIDN’T WANT TO NEED THIS BOOK
When I first started reading it [DADDY’s Girl Forever], I stopped. It felt intense for some reason and I didn’t think I needed it anyway. Besides, I had a pretty good relationship with my dad!
But I felt compelled to pick it up again and as I read I realized there were some things I needed to work through. Things I’d forgotten and needed to face. The truth is, I didn’t want to need this book. My dad is deceased, but I decided to write him a letter, which was helpful to process stuff.
I’m rereading the book now and I plan to buy the study guide to go deeper. It’s challenged me in the best way! I have a cousin I’ll buy a copy for too. Thank you so much for writing this.
