Informational and challenging

Fantastic book.
I have children and grandchildren and have done much soul searching into why I behave as I do, yet this book still spoke volumes to me and led me deepen my Father - son relationship with God even more.
Even so, I can see me working through this for the remainder of my life.

This is similar to the first book I read by this author even though I would consider it better than Healing the Masculine Soul. It has some excellent nuggets of wisdom and thought provoking ideas, some I’d even consider life changing. But much of the book is generic advice and platitudes about “taking it to the Lord” that I found unhelpful.

Still, a useful read and resource for conversation.

Great resource for learning about the father wound

This is a great book, I definitely recommend it to all men. The only thing i think it misses is that it talks about the healing of the father wound as if it was the root for all the healing we need and I think it is only an important but small part of the inner healing we all need.
