And some will quietly break your heart. But all of them are from children who deserve to know and feel God’s unconditional love. Also available in Spanish as Querido Papa Francisco.

The world evoked here strikes me as fundamentally true' - Sydney Morning Herald _______________ An unforgettable, nightmarish coming-of-age story set in rural Austria towards the end of the Second World War. It is 1944, and war has taken the men in Nazi-controlled Austria to the front line. For thirteen-year-old Ursula Hildesheim, life in the village of Felddorf remains almost as it was: bullied by her schoolmates, idly thieving from the village shop, enlisted in endless chores by her mama and sister and running wild with her adored older brother Anton. But when Russian prisoners escape from the local concentration camp, her mama starts an affair with a married man, her friend goes missing and her brother's allegiance to the Hitler Youth emerges in shocking ways, Ursula finds herself alone, disturbed by dark memories, and surrounded by threat. In this new world of conflict, Ursula discovers a bravery she has never known before and is forced to recognise that danger comes not only from the enemy at the door but from the enemy within. My Own Dear Brother is a remarkable coming-of-age story and an unflinching study of both cruelty and courage.

Download or read book Dear Child Love Daddy written by Anonymous and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-07 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dear Child, Love, Daddy is a compilation of 365 letters from a loving father to his forcibly estranged child. These letters are masterfully written and woven together, and their endearing style has a way of engaging the reader. The author uses wit, humor, thought-provoking questions, and quotations from the Bible; to impart love, acceptance, interest, encouragement, and gentle instruction to his young child. Perhaps you've experienced a less than ideal relationship with your father, or maybe you are a dad who wants to be there more for your child. Perhaps you're a mother whose child needs more from his/her father. Or maybe you just want to read an endearing account of a father's love for his child. Then Dear Child, Love, Daddy delivers. This faithful husband and father of three, has felt the horror of having one of his children kidnapped during a heated custody battle with his ex-wife. Up against a high-powered family with deep pockets, which used lies and exploitation, this disabled man lost custody of his beloved child. He meets pain and terror with fortitude and perseverance. Remaining undaunted in his desire to honor God and to be the father that his child needs, he writes daily. Having never received a single letter in return, he assumes the youngster, who can barely read, has not been receiving his letters. Perhaps the best way to describe this anonymous author is by the words of his two adoptive children. The first says, "He's a really cool and fun dad." And the second says, "He's the best dad in the world! He could be doing other things, but instead he plays with us."
