For those who participated in the Fatherless Generation study at BibleDude.net with Activist Faith co-founder Dan King and friends, it was an amazing experience. The book’s author, John Sowers, offers a few closing thoughts, along with a riveting video on this issue.<\/p>\n

Thank you Dan (and the BibleDude.net community),<\/p>\n
It is humbling and encouraging to see the response to the book. I am grateful for this project \u2013 and hope that all of us will become advocates for it\u2019s message.<\/p>\n
The fatherless story is written into the heart of our generation, read in our blogs, seen in our movies, heard in our songs. It is a story of grief and pain, rejection and self-destruction. A story that desperately needs to be heard.<\/p>\n
Until we begin seeing the narrative for what it is, it\u2019s destructive cycle will inevitably continue. This issue really needs and deserves a hearing, and I pray it will continue to be shouted from the rooftops.<\/p>\n
My purpose in writing the book is transference. I pray the reader is horrified and disturbed. Disturbed enough to share the pain and \u201churt with\u201d a generation. This is the root of compassion. I also pray that our shared hurt will awaken and stir us to action.<\/p>\n
I am grateful for the writers of this blog project and for the readers of the book. I hope for a great commissioning \u2013 that all of us will stand and act for the fatherless. In a day where the best-selling books are self-help, fiction, or fickle controversy, I pray that the story of the fatherless generation will get a fair hearing.<\/p>\n
