Before You Give Your Heart Away is a practical guide to understanding how the lack of a positive father fi gure in childhood impacts all of a daughter's relationships later in life, especially with men, and greatly distorts the view of the heavenly Father. This book ties teaching and personal stories together and can be used for individual refl ection or group study. The father/daughter relationship, feelings of self-worth, compulsive and addictive behaviors, teenage pregnancy, abortion recovery, and abstinence are just a few of the topics discussed. Before You Give Your Heart Away should not be read quickly and set aside but should be used as a guide on a journey to personal growth and healing.
