Father Hunger is a thoughtful and timely excursion into our culture of fatherlessness, what Wilson calls 'the central malady of our time.' Central because it is the cause of so many of the ills we face - everything from atheism and crime to joyless feminism and paternalistic government expansion - but most important because of the effect it has on families, children, wives, and husbands. Bottom line: when fathers are checked out, left out, or ruled out, it hurts literally everyone. We need our fathers, and all too often they are nowhere present. Father Hunger has one basic goal: to encourage and empower men to be the fathers that God calls them to be and that their families and culture desperately need them to be.
