Father Hunger

Father Hunger describes the emptiness that many of us experience because we still crave the comfort and security that our fathers did not provide.Your relationship with your father not only affects your emotional style, your relationships with your children and spouse, and your ability to handle life in general, but it deeply affects the way you think about God.If you're looking for a 'feel-good' book about father and child relationships, this isn't it... If you and your father have had a little spat and are still holding a grudge against each other, find another resource to help you! This book is for (1) people who, as children, didn't receive the quality and quantity of love they wanted and deserved from their fathers and (2) others who are currently related to such people. Although I have had a wonderful loving father, I have always experienced a certain 'father hunger' because he was away so much during my childhood. I now know what I missed. This book offers so much understanding and hope for all who suffer the various emotional pangs of 'father hunger.'-Gigi GrahamPast National Advisor for Women's Affairs, RaphaRobert McGee has zeroed in on a topic that has practical relevance for all of us.

Collins, PhDI can't think of a more timely book than Father Hunger. I am surrounded by people-me included-who have grown up with a hole in their heart from an emotionally or physically absent father. Don't look for quick-fix solutions or pious pronouncements in this book. But if you really want to see the hunger pangs subside, this book is for you.-John TrentAuthor, Speaker, President of Strong Families
