The 13 Different Father & Daughter Relationships of the Bible

The 13 Different Father and Daughter Relationships of the Bible offers modern-day lessons about one of our most critical parental relationships that can be healthy or destructive. This book, part of the Biblical Dysfunctional Families series, is designed to address the world’s fragile family ecosystem with primary focuses on the lack of great fathers present in their daughters’ lives. The Biblical examples in this text address the long-term impacts of fathers’ relationships with their daughters. For instance, with Lot, the incestuous father–daughter relationship marred the daughters’ lives forever, dashing any hopes of a healthy marriage. Another example is Laban, a misogynistic father who devalued his daughters by pitting them against one another for his financial gain and much more!
 
Despite the many terrible fathers depicted in the Bible, there are also some remarkable ones, like the first single adoptive father, Mordecai, who raised Esther to become the Queen. There is also the undisputed strong fatherly figure Zelophehad, who raised five equally strong and independent daughters to fight for the rights to their inheritance. Fatherhood is an amazing gift. This book purposefully sets out to help fathers and daughters explore and strengthen their bond sincerely and transparently. The goal is for fathers and daughters to address their needs, wants, disappointments, and joys in a way they can build a healthy, wholesome, and Bible-inspired relationship.
