This book reads like a personal letter to the reader because T. D. Jakes writes to women as if a loving father is writing to his daughter. He writes on behalf of all fathers to reinforce their love to a beloved child, on behalf of the father who could not express his love, and on behalf of the absent or non-existant father. On Behalf of The Heavenly Father, Jakes writes The Father's Love into a woman's heart who may have grown up with an abusive or non-loving father and is not accustomed to feeling loved.
The template for this book is Jakes' sincere writing to his two daughters and the love and advice he wants to leave with them, but he structured "Daddy Loves His Girls" to be applicable to all women.
Through scripture, Jakes ministers to the reader the love of our Heavenly Father; and through personal examples, he gives us insight into the workings of a man's heart. Jakes also includes some practical advice on relationships and investing for the future.
"Daddy Loves His Girls" is an easy, uplifting read.
This book has helped me see God as not only my heavenly father but also as a loving father. Very neat book, I could not feel more loved and encouraged by the truths this author shares.
I read this book a long time ago - it must have been in 1998/99. I remember in particular the chapter titled Romancing the Stone. I found the whole book very comforting at a time when life for me was very difficult and every relationship I had around me was just falling apart. It was such uplifting text.
I loved reading this book, just as i have loved reading every book by Bishop Jakes. His style of writing and way with words is just flawless.
He addressed very sensitive issues in the lives of most women and the book felt like it was a personal letter from God. It was an emotional read, I'd suggest you get your tissue handy. I'll totally recommend it.
A book that encourages women to step into all of the purposes God has for them. He reminds them of God's love for them and the gifts he's given them. He speaks of God's presence and desire to provide what we need. It is a very encouraging and empowering book.
