The Father Wound...and Beyond Confronting and Healing the Greatest Wound of All

There is a wound in almost every man's heart, an unblessed injury passed down from the one man in our lives who was called to protect and care for us. This is "the father wound." It cuts deep into our souls, destroying our unique identity, and causing us to erect barriers of anger and shame that affect us and our children's lives for generations to come. But there is hope to break this cycle of pain caused by abuse and neglect. Author Bob Kroll examines this complicated maze of confusion and self-destructive habits and provides a rock-solid approach for Catholic men to find healing and restoration through faith, forgiveness, and foundational living. Through personal story, biblical exegesis, and practical application, this book walks with the reader along the road to recovery, so that he can become the great man, husband, and father he was called to be by God.

The Father Wound...and Beyond will help you discover the battles within your heart, and what you can do to live life to the fullest—a must read for every Catholic man who is serious about his faith!
