Missing from action

Whether Dad's absence stems from divorce, passive withdrawal, or his never having been a permanent part of the household, fatherless families number in the millions. The result: imbalanced family lives and children -- especially boys -- who may grow up with the same devil-may-care attitudes because of the lack of a male role model. Weldon Hardenbrook claims that men "have lost their way to true manhood and thrown responsibility to the wind." Thus, women have had to take over as disciplinarians and breadwinners and serve as both mother and father to their children. When this happens, warns Hardenbrook, "it threatens the stability of an entire society. Dad's disappearance is exacting a disastrous toll on those around him." What can today's family do? How can men regain their roles as leaders in home, church, and society? Hasn't Dad been missing long enough? Hardenbrook gives answers in Missing from Action. - Jacket flap.
