Commendations
Diane-Louise Jordan, Broadcaster
Diane Louise Jordan, Broadcaster
At last, a straightforward, clearly written book focusing on Fatherhood as the key to identity. Bravo, Frances! I’m thrilled you’ve written what God placed on your heart years ago. I suspect it may never make it to my bookshelf but instead serve as a vital resource in my life toolkit.
Jonathan Clark Director, Premier Lifeline
Rooted, Loved, Affirmed is an acutely personal account dealing with life, touching relationships and rooted in the spiritual. Frances Miles explores the importance of identity and heritage, validation and acknowledgement, family and faith. It is woven through with rich nuggets and threads of insight, considering aspects of “Who am I?” It was a compelling read, leaving me wanting more.
Pam Rhodes, TV and radio presenter
Faces on old family photos, with names we may not even remember – what’s their legacy to us? And what will our legacy be for generations to come? This thoughtful book helps us to understand ourselves by getting to know the character, circumstances and convictions of those who came before us.
Revd Dr Martyn Atkins
Frances Miles has written a courageous and honest book that will be variously helpful, healing, challenging and cathartic for its readers. Her own journeying of self-discovery, and the winsome stories of many others are interwoven with biblical insights to telling – and potentially transformative – effect.
Revd Dr G. Howard Mellor
Frances Miles has achieved something quite refreshing – presenting personal reflection and life situations in a way that allows readers to recognise themselves or the emotions involved. She offers insight, spiritual devotion, biblical reflection, and fun! It’s just the kind of book to read while contemplating life, the universe, and everything.
Dave Bilborough, Worship leader and songwriter
Hidden deep within each one of us is the need to know we belong. Often it goes unspoken, but it’s there. Engaging and practical, Frances addresses this important theme with insight and compassion. Bringing a message of hope for us and those in our circle and care.
Andy Frost, Director, Share Jesus International
Frances shares with honesty and vulnerability the importance of relationships and our need to know both who we are and who we belong to. With insights to meditate on and practical next steps, this book will help us all become more fully alive.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is ‘Rooted Loved Affirmed’ for?
Primarily for Christians, or those interested in discovering more about faith, and for those who are in families— whether parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, or godparents—and those who influence the lives of children, such as Sunday school teachers and youth leaders, too. But it also for those of us who have ever been a child!! That is because I explore, in a gentle way, using my own story and those of others, how our family and background can impact us as adults. The book explores how God is our perfect parent. It also describes how, through wise words and practical actions, we can become changemakers in our relationships, families, friendships, and even beyond.
