Remember the Fatherless this Father's Day

As we celebrate and honor our fathers this week-end, keep in mind that there are approximately 27 million American boys that are being raised without a father in the house.  Author Donald Miller was one of those boys and he wrote a book about the experience entitled, Father Fiction.  He also started an organization called The Mentoring Project which partners young men growing up without dads with positive male role models. The Mentoring Project's goal is "to see thousands of kids enter into relationships with somebody who would be let down if they screwed up, and ecstatic when they succeed."

Miller was recently a guest on NPR's The Diane Rehm Show where he discussed Father Fiction.  You may listen here.
