Description

In "Father Hunger," Douglas Wilson explores the profound impact of fatherlessness on modern society, extending beyond physical absence to encompass a deeper hunger for true fatherhood. Wilson combines research, analysis, and real-life examples to address societal issues stemming from absentee fatherhood, such as poverty, crime, and the erosion of mature masculinity. The book distinguishes between asserting paternal authority and restoring genuine spiritual fathering while debunking mistaken assumptions about fatherhood. "Father Hunger" also challenges the corporate-fulfillment fallacy and advocates for the benefits of fruitful fathering, from stronger marriages to increased economic liberty. Filled with practical ideas and self-evaluation tools, this book encourages men to embrace the high calling of fatherhood and become the dads that families and society desperately need.
