Father Fiction – Donald Miller

Erik Guzman June 15th, 2010

Bestselling author Donald Miller grew up without a dad. He didn't know what he was missing until his late twenties when he moved in with a family and got an extended look at a father in action.

That set Miller on the path through the experience of loss to healing. He writes about it with candid self-revelation and humor in his new book Father Fiction: Chapters for a Fatherless Generation.

With Father's Day coming up, we thought it would be good to talk to Don about his story and the work he's doing through The Mentoring Project, an organization that helps churches start mentoring programs and pairs mentors with boys in need.

Join Donald Miller and the Steve Brown Etc. crew for a look at the importance of fathers. Think of it as our Father's Day gift to you.
