Dan Kuiper, Author and Speaker

Picture
Dan Kuiper, who resides in South Bend, Indiana, is a speaker, author, and life coach with a passion for helping those who have been wounded by a painful past. The son of an alcoholic father, Dan knows all too well how easy it is to carry our childhood fears, anger, and shame into our adult lives.

​Through his ministry, Finding Father's Love, Dan has helped countless people who have experienced the difficult dynamics of dysfunctional family relationships. Before becoming a full-time writer and speaker, Dan served on the staff at a faith-based counseling agency in Lansing, Illinois and at two churches in his hometown of Highland, Indiana. Dan is the author of When Father is a Bad Word, a highly-acclaimed book which one reader calls

"A wonderful book about broken relationships,
    forgiveness and how to put your heart into
             a condition which is capable of
                      accepting God’s love."


Dan has offered his Finding Father's Love seminars and retreats to audiences across the country, earning rave reviews. Said one participant:

   "I learned more this weekend than I have in
                all my years of counseling!"


Book: When Father is a Bad Word

Whether good or bad, there are parallels between the relationship we have or had with our earthly father and the relationship we have with our Heavenly Father. Dan's book, When Father is a Bad Word, will take you on a journey--a journey toward intimacy with a Father whose arms are always open to His children. It is in His embrace that we find hope and healing for our father wounds.

Feedback from Teen and Adult Challenge participants on the FFL seminar has included words like  
​
"life-changing" and "unforgettable."
Young men from a Teen and Adult Challenge chapter in Arizona were asked what they learned about their Heavenly Father at the FFL Seminar. Among the responses:

  • "That He loves me more than I have ever wished my earthly father could have loved me."
  • "That God is a great Father and will be there for me no matter what."
  • "That He isn't like my earthly father. He isn't going to leave me and let me down."
  • "That He will never leave me or forsake me."
 
Your tax-deductible gifts will go to covering expenses related to offering  Finding Father's Love Seminars (travel expenses, journals, books, and materials). ​
