Father Hunger by Douglas Wilson covers a very critical need that today’s society continue to see spiral out of control…fatherless families. .The author covers a lot of ground about how men should be accountable to themselves, to their wives and to their children.  This topic has been written about a great deal lately.  The author covers make sure he covers all the major areas that can help.  I have read about 25 books relating to a fatherless society.  The author does cover the topic well if you have not read about this problem before.  If you have read a few books about our fatherless society then you will see nothing new in this book.  He covers the same scripture quotations and facts as the other books.  He has research the issue well and covers it in detail but where he fails slightly is the goal of arming the men with tools, ideas and suggestions as to how to change this trend. He does go over this at a never high level but does not provide enough for most men.  I run a Christian men’s groups and while is interesting reading we have to rely on other books and materials for further training.  For the first time ready about a fatherless society, it will be a good read.  If you have read about this subject before you will not see anything new.
I received a free copy of this book from WaterBrook Multnomah in exchange for my honest review of the book.
