Fatherless America - Confronting Our Most Urgent Social Problem

Post by Tuly »

Fatherless America - Confronting Our Most Urgent Social Problem by David Blankenhorn. I probably will be getting this book for all of my children, it is an important book that was written 1995, however Blankenhorn's study on this subject is excellent and very timely. Who knew that this would be a problem 50 years ago? nevertheless the role of fatherhood has been deconstructed in recent decades. From the book:
The fact that paternal death caused such pain and social concern, while paternal departure is now accepted with relative equanimity, tells us with great precision what is truly new about contemporary fatherhood.
"Condemn me not because of mine imperfection,... but rather give thanks unto God that he hath made manifest unto you our imperfections, that ye may learn to be more wise than we have been." Mormon 9:31

After our conversation, I put this on the request list from BYU's Howard B. Lee Library, so I'll have access to it soon. Thanks!
