Finding My Father

This book is about fathers and fatherhood. In searching for her biological father, Marian discovers her real dad as her journey of faith leads her onto a treacherous road of self-discovery with many surprises she did not expect. I was compelled to read every page… An inspirational and life-giving book for anyone whose life has spiraled out of control. —Tetsuo Peter Yoshida, MDiv, Princeton Theological Seminary

I have prayed for and counseled with many people over the years, and Marian’s Finding My Father illuminates aspects of the healing process I had never seen. I have never before considered what it’s like to be the one processing through spiritual and emotional healing until now. This book is a gift to the orphan, the broken-hearted, counselors, and the church and must get into the hands of many. May these pages release Heavenly Father’s healing and confident spiritual footing in all aspects of your life! —David J. Martin, MDiv, former Director and Academic Dean Christian Outreach School of Ministries; Counselor with Cleansing Stream Ministry

I find this book to be an excellent additional resource for counselors and for those who have faced trauma, grief, and loss in their lives. —Millie McCarty, M.A., LPCC, Founder & CEO, International Institute for Trauma Recovery.
