After decades of training, nurturing, and encouraging them, the fatherly \"juices\" want to keep flowing to them. What can be done? Daddyvotionals!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is not another collection of Christian devotionals, as you might suspect from the title. Rather, it is a suite of essays I gave my children after they left home! So these are not \"kiddie\" sermons, but are grownup messages to my sons and daughters from their devoted daddy. Some are testimonies of what God has done for us; others are meant to exhort or encourage; a few are deeply theological; and some are really funny!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe have had children living in our home for 45 years! Yes, from the time my wife and I started having babies until the last one moved out, four and a half decades passed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen they started leaving the nest years ago I still had a longing to feed them in a spiritual way as I had done all of their younger lives. I satisfied this desire by emailing them periodically the writings found in these pages. I didn't think I was writing a book-I was simply continuing to communicate my care and love. Somehow it turned into a book, after all!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 290\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.61 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 20, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42160237904007,"sku":"9781647195199","price":25.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/44c31a03a10dacc56e9a704360aef9fe.webp?v=1733272738","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/daddyvotionals-essays-from-the-empty-nest-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
