There are two kinds of fatherlessness. The first kind is where the father is never known to the child. The second, the father lives in the same home as the child but is emotionally unavailable and often physically absent too. Both of these have adverse effects on the child. Children need a special kind of love and nurturing from their father. There is some security that comes from having a father, especially in the formative years. Children cannot understand why other children have their fathers but they do not.
Todd Johnson tells a very intimate and personal story about his childhood. He grew up in a single parent home. He talks about the struggles he went through as a result of not having that special father figure in his life. He outlines all the choices he made as a result of his home situation. He talks about how that situation shaped the man and father he is today.
The most important thing in this book is the role of God in a single parent home. One can ask God to fill that void left behind by an absentee father. A fatherless person can find the love and care they need from God. It urges on the importance of God -lead fatherhood.
This book is centered on a very important subject. Fatherless homes are very common not only in America but on a global scale. In fact, the book starts with some very interesting numbers. Numbers never lie. They indicate the percentage of children affected by lack of a father or having an emotionally unavailable father. The numbers give the book a serious tone. One will understand the true weight of this subject.
Fathering the Fatherless makes proper use of scripture. It conveys the message God has about fatherhood. One will have a better understanding of their role once they have read through the verses given. He will understand that being a father has nothing to do with DNA but everything to do with nurturing, caring and loving. That, the kind of father one has great potential to shape character and identity.
The author is obviously very passionate about the subject and the book feels like a personal endeavor. However, the delivery of the subject matter suffers from broken statements, grammar mistakes, and anemic prose. At one point, the author strings together verses from the Bible and at times repeats verses and his personal story feels incomplete. This book does a fantastic job of starting a very important discussion, but stops short of diving into the deep end of that conversation. If you only pay attention to the intended message you can gain insight into what fatherlessness really is and this book does a great job of getting that conversation started.

A read with evident social consciousness & incisiv
'Fathering the Fatherless' is a profound exploration of a life of a father, his role in the lives of his children, tempering the harsh realities shaping them physically, mentally and spiritually that is both deeply moving and satisfying.
Author Todd Richard Johnson reconstructs his own past, of being a child, growing up without a father or fatherly guidance by demonstrating his personal experience and deep knowledge of children's thought processes that can make or break ones life and moral after living a fatherless childhood.
With keen, practical observation and statistics from Department of Health and Human Services, author Todd's book 'Fathering the Fatherless' contains strategies embedded with biblical scriptures and proven guidance on how men or fathers are to take control over their lives in order to provide a healthier mind, body and spirit to their children for a better present and future.
Highly persuasive, mingled with wisdom that is gained only by time and experience 'Fathering the Fatherless' is a heartfelt insight into the duties of a great father that is inspiring. For the evident social consciousness, purity and incisive thinking this book is highly recommended to those who wish to be a role model father to their children. 4/5 Stars!
