You Got Daddy Issues?

"You Got Daddy Issues?," written by my good friend Polly Betzner Walshin, is a gut-wrenching, heart-twisting true story that will not only keep you on the edge of your seats as you read this but it will engulf you in the pain and utter roller coaster ride of being fatherless and left with daddy issues. We all have issues and things that we are dealing with on a daily basis. But how we face them and solve them is many times dependent on the choices that we make, despite how we were taught or raised. You may have daddy issues of your own. Heck, you may have mommy issues as well! But no matter what the issues are, whether they are veiled and hidden or outright in your face and active, these issues can be dealt with in the loving hands and arms of our Heavenly Father.

"For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel." (1 Cor. 4:15)

Author Polly Betzner Walshin has so openly and transparently shared her story and has opened up her life with grave details and exhilarating scenarios that will seem like an unreal movie. But this, my friends, is the type of thing that happens when there is a systemic problem of fatherlessness in our world. We can end the cycle of "father poverty" today. We can end the cycle of fatherlessness today if we choose to stand up and love in the love of God.

"Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13)

Will you be a laid-down lover for Jesus or will you allow your issues to lay you down? Do not go another day holding a grudge, a chip on your shoulder, a hint of unforgiveness, or even a scent of magic. Forgive in the name of Jesus and be free inside and out. As you open up and read this book, "You Got Daddy Issues?," written and narrated by Polly Betzner Walshin, get ready to dive into a very real story of ups and downs, highs and lows, and how the perfect love of God crashes into a prison of fear, abuse, drugs, and violence. If God can do it for Polly, then God can surely do it for you.
