�Father Hunger illustrates one of the greatest influences or lack thereof on the identity of a man: a father. Read a book that will strike an invisible chord in the lives of men both lost and found.� � Dr. Eric Mason, pastor of Epiphany Fellowship, Philadelphia
Fatherlessness is a �rot that is eating away at the modern soul,� writes Douglas Wilson, and the problem goes far beyond physical absence. �Most of our families are starving for fathers, even if Dad is around, and there�s a huge cost to our children and our society because of it.� Father Hunger takes a thoughtful, timely, richly engaging excursion into our cultural chasm of absentee fatherhood. Blending leading-edge research with incisive analysis and real-life examples, Wilson
� Traces a range of societal ills � from poverty and crime to joyless feminism and paternalistic government expansion � to a vacuum of mature masculinity
� Explains the key differences between asserting paternal authority and reestablishing true spiritual fathering
� Uncovers the corporate-fulfillment fallacy and other mistaken assumptions that undermine fatherhood
� Extols the benefits of restoring fruitful fathering, from stronger marriages to greater economic liberty
Filled with practical ideas and self-evaluation tools, Father Hunger encourages and challenges men to �embrace the high calling of fatherhood� and become the dads that their families and our culture so desperately need them to be.”
