This enchanting story is about a little girl who grew up on the rocky shores of the Indian Ocean in South Africa. She loved the ocean and she adored her daddy. Their favorite times were spent at the ocean-fishing, swimming, and laughing. He was everything a child could want in a daddy. But then he died!! This true story continues to unfold, as we follow her into adulthood. Although she was happily married, the little abandoned girl inside had never grown up. Feeling abandoned and betrayed by her daddy, she tried to be normal, but the indelible memories haunted her. Twenty years later, the broken little girl inside a grown woman felt an urge to go look for her daddy's ocean, only this time, it would be the rocky shores of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Amid fireflies and majestic sunsets, she found the answer for which her heart was yearning...a new Daddy. And it was amidst the fatherly embrace of this new Daddy-the Perfect Everlasting Father-that she learned to let go of abandonment, condemnation, and shame. She was saved by His Love...and finally became free. This story is not only for those who lost someone, and are struggling with abandonment, but also for those who struggle with non-acceptance, unworthiness, condemnation, shame, and guilt. The Perfect Father sent His Son, Jesus, to set us free from any and all of these negative, destructive beliefs. Do not read this book if you do not want to be changed.

A biography of Pope Francis that describes how this revolutionary thinker will use the power of his position to challenge and redirect one of the world's most formidable religionsAn expansive and deeply contextual work, at its heart The Great Reformer is about the intersection of faith and politics--the tension between the pope's innovative vision for the Church and the obstacles he faces in an institution still strongly defined by its conservative past. Based on extensive interviews in Argentina and years of study of the Catholic Church, Ivereigh tells the story not only of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the remarkable man whose background and total commitment to the discernment of God's will transformed him into Pope Francis--but the story of why the Catholic Church chose him as their leader.With the Francis Revolution just beginning, this biography will provide never-before-explained context on how one man's ambitious program began--and how it will likely end--through an investigation of Francis's youth growing up in Buenos Aires and the dramatic events during the Perón era that shaped his beliefs; his ongoing conflicts and disillusionment with the ensuing doctrines of an authoritarian and militaristic government in the 1970s; how his Jesuit training in Argentina and Chile gave him a unique understanding and advocacy for a "Church of the Poor"; and his rise from Cardinal to the papacy.
