Father Hunger by Douglas Wilson

The publisher has this to say about the work "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.”" But that does not begin to say it. The author hits the bigest corrosive issue in our modern times dead on the head: Fathers need to assume the role and be responsible heads of households as God intends. Wilson uses Biblical references and gives great instances of men called to action: the action of becoming the heads. I can not say enough good praise for this work. I think every man alive needs to read this book as then ask himself if he is living upto his responsibilities and if not he needs to use this book as a guide to help him find his way into the Word and the hearts of his family. Being a father is so much more than biological contribution. That is why science and test tubes can never replace a man.
