FAITH OF JIM DALY
: From Loss to Legacy

Not a perfect life. A faithful one.

God delights in beginning His greatest stories in places we would never choose. In The Faith of Jim Daly, biographer Leslie Montgomery delivers an absorbing account of the events that shaped the life, outlook, and contributions of the immediate successor to Focus on the Family founder James Dobson. With interviews from Jim Daly and his family members, as well as friends, colleagues, and associates, the book chronicles Daly’s often lonely and perplexing childhood in a dysfunctional family torn apart by alcoholism, abandonment, and loss; his years of deprivation in foster care; the individuals who opened the door for him to heal; and the hand of God that guided him to become a compassionate, encouraging, and empowering presence in the lives of others. 

The boy who longed for the protection of a father grew up to spend his life introducing individuals and families to the heart of their heavenly Father. This is a story of extraordinary grace, unrelenting perseverance, and the purposes of God. It reveals the truths that . . .  

No person is beyond God’s reach

No wound is beyond His healing

No failure is beyond His redemption

And no life surrendered to Christ is ever wasted
