About this listen

With honest humor and raw self-revelation, best-selling author Donald Miller tells the story of growing up without a father and openly talks about the issues that befall the fatherless generation.

Raw and candid, Miller moves from self-pity and brokenness to hope and strength, highlighting a path for millions who are floundering in an age without positive male role models. Speaking to both men and women who grew up without a father—whether that father was physically absent or just emotionally aloof—this story of longing and ultimate hope will be a source of strength.

Single moms and those whose spouses grew up in fatherless homes will find new understanding of those they love as they travel along this literary journey. This is a story of hope and promise. And if you let it, Donald Miller’s journey will be an informal guide to pulling the rotted beams out from our foundations and replacing them with something upon which we can build our lives.

This starts off as an excellent book - I could relate to **most** of what was being said initially. There's so much in the beginning that gave me hope as to that this was the perfect book for me. My biological father also abandoned the family when I was between 2-3 years old, so I can relate very highly to what is being said.

If you are non-christian, I would recommend skipping chapters 4 and 5 completely, because around Chapter 4, a constant god-talk begins. The "matter-of-fact-liness" with which the author talks about god is extremely offputting. I could only listen to about 5 minutes of Chapter 5 (take a shot every time the word "god" is mentioned if you want a challenge) before skipping to chapter 6.

Good, but the religiousness of it is offputting.
