Helmets on and gear up for a close-up look at the anguished plight of children, teens, and young adults growing up without supportive fathers. While the role of dads in the home continues to be marginalized, the negative effects of their absence is ever-increasing. In Father Away From Me, the author's personal experience of life in a fatherless home is a tender narrative that cross-connects with other men and their own disadvantaged journeys. An awakening--and a challenge--to all fathers (and fathers-to-be) is heralded throughout the book, while expressing hope for a return to a time when the integrous leadership of loving, committed dads was welcomed throughout the land. This autobiographical account of the assorted difficulties kids face without dad guiding them through the various cycles of growth is balanced with ideas on how to solve this problem. Using a tactical method of true storytelling along with sprinkles of fictional episodes, Father Away From Me invites the reader to participate in its efforts to consider ways to bring dad home and keep him there. When all is said and done, the expected result is for ultimate fatherhood to be clearly understood, so that a life of wholesome abundance will be more easily attained.

Theophilus of Antioch was a second-century Syrian bishop who sought to promote in three books, collectively known as Ad Autolycum, a moralistic form of Christianity. Given that this form of Christianity is generally considered by scholars as atypical within the early church, Theophilus has not received the same amount of attention as have other second-century theologians. Rick Rogers seeks to redress this gap, offering a fuller analysis of the rhetoric and focus of Theophilus's theological system as it is manifest in Ad Autolycum. Rogers concludes that Theophilus's thought may have been closer to the emphasis of Hellenistic Judaism than was any other form of New Testament or early Christianity. His book will hold strong appeal for scholars and students of early Christianity.
