It seems that more pastors are challenging the men of their churches to be the leaders of their homes. Not only that, but there a growing challenge for the men to take their role of father more seriously than ever before. How many homes do we hear about where the father is absent or won't do anything for his family?
Douglas Wilson talks about the role of the men in leading their families as a father in his book, Father Hunger. Wilson discussed in a wide range of catergories concerning Fatherhood for why fathers are need, not just from Scripture's view point, but also from history. Wilson also addresses the issues of the absentee father which has a hot topic for the last few years.
Other topics include the true and false fact of masculinity and proper godly education. Wilson devoted one chapter on God as our Father. Using scripture, he tells his readers all the Father is without comparing God to some product we use everyday like Coke or Alka Seltzer.
This book is a good resource to have during Father's Day and possibly one to give to all young fathers.
Thanks Booksneeze for letting me review this book.
