There are quite a few of us out here in this amorphous space called the Internet who are doing battle in the war against father-absent households - the condition of growing up without a father. If you need cold facts on the impact of this epidemic please visit and soak up the information provided by the National Fatherhood Initiative. Off the top of my head I know a documentary filmmaker currently making a powerful film entitled Dear Daddy and I work on a weekly basis with a man who is a social media phenom and the co-founder of what can best be described as a movement - a mission to promote positive images of marriage and parenthood as it relates to the African American community. And then there's me..."With great power comes great responsibility," as told to a young Peter Parker by who was soon to be his soon to be deceased Uncle Ben. Well I don't have great power but I can't deny the responsibility I've taken on being at the helm of this blog. Several years back I made the decision to be a DAD and have it all. It happened and I began to blog about it. My desire to write DAD: As Easy As A, B, C! was born the moment I wrote my very first fatherhood post on this blog. And this Father's Day 2011 it came to life. It is the 2nd in my four-step effort to inspire dads to do more and do better for their families and themselves.™
But like most things in this life, short of dying, I can't wage my offensive of this war against fatherless-absence alone. I need your help:
- Please visit the DAD: As Easy As A, B, C! website and help me Spread The Word. There are pre-made Tweets there and other ways for you to share the news about this book via social media.
- Please join the DAD: As Easy As A, B, C on Facebook
- Please purchase a copy of DAD: As Easy As A, B, C!
- Post a review of the book on Amazon.com.
- And of course, if you would, please share all of the above with everyone you know.
Thanks!
