Faith of a Father: a Father's Open Letter to his Daughter
frank barbehenn, author
The highly readable story of Frank’s emerging
faith in Jesus is a spellbinding dance among various
forces in his life. In this most personal, page-turning
exposé, he courageously discloses how trauma shaped
his life—nearly from the moment of his birth. Beginning
in infancy, he was traumatized by an extraordinarily
cold, emotionless alcoholic mother. From early
childhood on, he was emotionally abused by an angry,
disabled father. Later, in midlife, he was twice traumatized by disabilities—disabilities
that emerged as a result of his childhood. He reveals utterly intimate details of how his mind was forged through those traumas—driving his unchosen but painstaking quest for spiritual truth. It’s the story of how one man found and embraced faith—not
only the circumstances that engendered it, but the forces deep inside him that shaped his hypnotic draw to it. In poignant detail, he describes how that faith really looks—from the inside out—from deep within his own psyche.
