Dating Daddy: Realizing God as Father through Daddy Issues and Bad Romance is the author's journey from understanding God as a provider through her awareness of Him as a father. It delves into the father-daughter relationship as she reflects on her childhood with an absent father and how she used romance to fill the insatiable voids in her life. She makes connections between three significant romantic relationships and research, biblical stories, and common themes that were prevalent to her experience including: •the lack of emotional availability and how this hinders true love, •how lust can entangle you in a relationship that you know is not right for you, and •possible root causes of self-sabotaging behavior that is evident in codependent relationships. Dating Daddy is a book for women who desire to make meaning of their choices in romance following a devastating breakup or divorce. It is also a book for fathers to understand how necessary their role is in their daughter's life even if they are no longer with the mother. Dating Daddy is a story of hope for readers who feel they lack the resilience to persist when life seems to constantly knock them down. It is a testament of God's ability to transform the devastating events in your life to have beautiful meaning and as an opportunity to try again.
