The Search for Lost Fathering: Rebuilding Your Father Relationship

by James L. Schaller

For many people, connection with a father is the most defining relationship of life. And, according to Schaller, many experience "father hunger," a hollow place inside that craves to be filled with a father's acceptance, affection, and intimacy. In this book, he sifts through the full rage of emotional struggles that occur when God's fatherhood is displaced with the fallen image of biological fathers.

[David · Rating 2 out of 5]

A somewhat disappointing read. The author only marginally considered the problem of fathers who get the mother pregnant and then disappear from the mother’s (and child’s) life. Absentee fathers was the elephant in the room the author seemed reluctant to confront. A population of children - especially boys - raised without a father is a national catastrophe. Shouldn’t we be working to teach young men that it is WRONG to get a girl pregnant and then ditch her?
