One Father's Heart: How Christ Restored A Wounded Dad

Synopsis

Richard H. Ehrman lavished his daughters with money, gifts, and unlimited freedom. But when it came to loving them, he didn't know how. Already headlong in a loveless marriage, his enabling began a chain of events that led his family to the brink of disaster. As his girls became heavily addicted to drugs, (heroin and methamphetamine), Ehrman watched from the sidelines, indifferent, as their misguided attempts to connect deteriorated into mental illness. It wasn't until his daughters were on the verge of ruin and death that Ehrman found the courage to call upon God, the Father he'd never met. Through the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ, he found not only the answer to his prayer, but a hidden strength he never knew existed.

A book originally published in 2009 as Guilt Ridden-Confessions of an Enabler, Ehrman rewrites his story to reflect his transformation from an enabler to a man with a father's heart. With brutal honesty, heartfelt clarity and emotion, Ehrman takes a stand for men who are trapped in the self-defeating spiral of codependency. After embarking on a journey of healing and forgiveness through Christ, he now ministers to friends, neighbors, and to the daughters he once let down.

One Father's Heart is for the emotionally bound man who cannot change his past, but has hope to change his future.
