Dr. Bob Vance's newly released "Daddy, I Forgive You" is a touching story of a son's reconnection with his estranged father.

MEADVILLE, Pa., Dec. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Daddy, I Forgive You": a gladdening memoir of the author's reaching out to his father that inspired lessons of understanding and triumph in life. "Daddy, I Forgive You" is the creation of published author Dr. Bob Vance, a dedicated writer and pastor from Logan, West Virginia.

Dr. Vance shares, "Having been robbed of the kind of normal childhood that many children take for granted, I have majored in the details of life, both good and bad, and that has made me who I am.

"I learned to steal because I was hungry. We received no support from him. The man who had left us began another family and never even tried to contact me. This drove me toward having a hatred for him that I wanted everyone to know. Stealing became easy. I started doing it for other reasons, such as to gain the acceptance of my peers.

"After losing interest in school and while trying to pull through the common nightmares that would wake me, I was rescued when God began to speak to my heart in various ways. I ignored that help until finally, at fifteen years old, I couldn't push that voice away any longer. I surrendered my heart to Christ.

"Although I had been forgiven, I had not been faced with forgiving the man who had destroyed me. The years went by, and the inevitable happened. I accidentally met him. It was my daddy. After a verbal fight, I was told that I was never allowed to see him again—even in death.

"Being faced with the opportunity to seek him out, reach him in love, and forgive him, I did just that. The opportunity to be reunited with this man wasn't easy, but I did just that. I met him, forgave him, and spent many wonderful days over the next few years with him.

"The previous dead, dark, lonely years were erased and replaced with months of laughter, father-son talks, visits, phone calls, and opportunities to say 'I love you.' I was barely away from his bedside when they called and told me he had died. I had not just lost my newfound friend; I had lost my daddy. I will never get over that."

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Dr. Bob Vance's new book contains a teaching moment for readers on the positive impact of forgiveness in moving on and attaining inner peace.

This book beholds an appreciation to fathers for their firmness and to sons for their fortitude in never giving up on their parents.
