    About this audiobook

    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 both encourages and challenges men to "embrace the high calling of fatherhood," becoming the dads that their families and our culture so desperately need them to be.

    "Wilson sounds a clarion call among Christian men that is pointedly biblical, urgently relevant, humorously accessible, and practically wise." -Richard D. Phillips, author of The Masculine Mandate: God's Calling to Men

    "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

      Very insightful and pastoral book. Articulate as always Wilson encourages and challenges you all at once. He brings you back to the Bible to show you what should be done and how, but shows you that you can do it. Liked the reader too though the recording was frustrating! It was like reading a book where the printer left out every fifth letter!

      If you are a father you will want to read this book! This book calls all men to be the man that a father should be in the world today. If men lead their families as Christ leads the men, then we all would benefit from Leadership. I was happy to do a review from booksneeze as per request of this book. My father was a workaholic and not a Christian growing up. I was raised Catholic and did all the proper Catholic things. Today as a Christian woman and single mother I learned by the examples of others and reading books in order to know a Christian home and a non Christian home. In today’s society if the men would “man up” and be the headship of their families in the godly fashion, life would balance wonderfully.As the author says, we are all to be treated as equals. In a court of law, for example, we know that the rules governing admissible evidence should not vary in accordance with the income brackets of the defendant. This is what we can expect from God on the final day we meet up with God on Judgment day. We will all be held accountable to our relationship with Christ and we will all be equal. Our men in this world need to remember their “first love” of Christ and feed on it daily.What this book does is take you through thoughtful, timely, richly engaging excursion into our cultural of the absent father in our world. Filled with practical ideas and self evaluation told, Father Hunger encourages and challenges all men to become the man God intended “them” to be.© 2012 Jackie Paulson
