Description

Joel Engle grew up without a dad. His mother died when he was 11 years old. The pain of his childhood almost destroyed his life as an adult. The Father I Never Had is a story of how God's love slowly transformed a broken and dysfunctional young man into a whole and loving husband and dad. It is a raw, honest and open look into the pain and redemption of Joel's spiritual and emotional journey with God.

"I am so glad Joel is finally putting his story in a book. It is a compelling story of the grace and power of God. I have known Joel for many years and have so much respect for his passion to see people live out their lives for God's fame. You will soon read in The Father I Never Had that Joel understands life doesn't play fair. But we are sons and daughters of a perfect Father and He holds us all together."

"The Father I Never Had is one of those books that you will read voraciously due to the story of redemption...but will come back to time and again as a resource and tool for ministry in your own life as well as for use in ministry to others. Joel has known abandonment, rejection, and the subsequent anger, disillusionment, and shame that go hand in hand with sin - even as a believer in and follower of Jesus Christ...yet he has found what we all are indeed looking for. THE Answer. To know a father's love - THE Father's love - and to BE KNOWN is the deepest desire of every human existence. Do you desire to know Him and to be known by Him more deeply than you thought possible? Read The Father I Never Had."
