I'm not sure where to begin... I grew up with an amazing father who was always present and loving and wasn't sure how reading this may apply to me. I heard about this book over a year ago & while driving down the highway a few weeks ago, it popped into my head again & I felt that I needed to read it. I see why now. Michael Turner addresses the subject of fatherlessness with a resolve that few who have experienced it can testify to. This book has given me insight into the pain and process of healing that is necessary for anyone who has been wounded by the relationship with their father (or lack thereof). I was amazed by the wisdom and healing that God has given him in the midst of a life experience that many never resolve or overcome. I can see clearly now how healing, restoration and even reconciliation is possible (not that I didn't believe it before but I didn't have the insight into the process that I now do because of Michael's transparency). I am a witness to the fact that this book is not just for those who have experienced abandonment, abuse or neglect, but also for anyone who would desire to see life and healing through the eyes of one who has experienced it. For pastors, understanding this perspective is vital with more than half of marriages in our churches ending in divorce and children hanging in the balances.Fantastic job Michael! If nothing else, the paragraphs of advice to Children, Fathers and Single mom's who have a shared experience with you in the conclusion of the book would have been worth the purchase and entire read of the book! Great all the way through! Thank you for being willing to be vulnerable & sharing your life with us! - Aaron Davis aka TattooPreacher
This is not only a great book but an inspiring personal testimony of how the Lord can work in our lives to recreate and restore us no matter what we've done or where we've been. This book addresses the need to bring back fatherhood in a largely fatherless society and I believe it will help fathers understand what God's design and purpose for them is and how what the world has taught them is far away from Gods design.
This book has opened my eyes to the roles of fathers, mothers, children and all of us. Not only does it speak to the role of fathers, but more importantly, it uses the role of THE FATHER as an example. I just bought another to give to a close family member.
Love this book! It shines a very bright light on the effects of not having a father, father figure, or an active father in children's lives. Those effects leave a lasting impression as they move into adulthood. It's something about putting a personal touch on a growing issue as this, it either acknowledges intimate times of you own life where you strongly desired a father's touch or it changes the way you value the importance of a father's role. As a father I see the deficiencies of my actions toward my child AND I will be changing them to the way God desires me to follow in his footsteps. I see how my issues most likely stems from my father having to go through life with rejection from his mother. Its a generational curse that has been removed from my family! Thank you Pastor Mike!
