In responding to the father that abused and molested her, Karen Rabbitt writes these words and sets the tone for her book “Trading Fathers: Forgiving Dad, Embracing God“.
“Jesus shed His blood, you do not need to shed yours.”
This is an autobiography, a memoir of her life beginning as a small child to present day in which she recounts in vivid detail the results of the transgressions put upon her by her father shaping her life through adulthood until she comes to understand the great Love that has waited for her all through the years.
This story is a visual picture of the sin cycle and how it can weave through the lives of the fathers down to the third and fourth generation. Unless interrupted, the resulting shame, regret, and loneliness remains unrestrained and affects every aspect of the the lives involved.
A truly tragic story told with piercing honesty and authenticity. It is very painful to read at times, that is, until she turns to her true Father, who has waited patiently for her all her life.
As God begins to shine Truth on all the areas she has long buried, you read the intense personal struggle that ends with forgiveness,humility, and redemption.
‘Papa-God’ redeems the writer and emboldens her to the point of freeing herself from the past with all its pain, and recounting the story to help others along the way.
An exceptional story, heralding God’s Love and His power to not erase, but redeem all transgressions.
