There is an insidious epidemic that has swept around the world. This disease is the absence of the father in our households.

It is not a virus but just as debilitating and deadly, perhaps more so, and the source of many of the tribulations our societies are enduring. The father, or head, is the keystone of our family units. God intended specific roles and responsibilities for his children and created man to assume the lead position within the family unit. Where the head is missing, dysfunction, sin, and sorrow are free to fill the void. The effects are generational and have far-reaching implications.

Not Without the Head explores the core issues surrounding the absence of fathers in society. Bro. Fredrick Ezeji-Okoye has written an insightful and educational guide to help us understand both the physical and emotional effects the absence of fathers causes in our families. The author tells of his own experiences and shares the testimony of others with firsthand knowledge of the subject. Not Without the Head includes pertinent Biblical references and support of the author’s perspective and advice.
