Failing at Fatherhood: a book for the imperfect father

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Oct. 16, 2014 - PRLog -- If They Had A Voice is proud to announce the forthcoming release in paperback and as an ebook for the Amazon Kindle, the Apple iBookstore, and the Barnes & Noble Nook, of  Failing at Fatherhood: a book for the imperfect father  by Jack Barr of King, North Carolina. The release is scheduled for November 10^th.

Starting with an article on CNN, the author, Jack Barr, tells his deeply personal story as a new father who learns that his child has Down syndrome. The resulting fear and anxiety quickly overwhelms him to the point where he takes drastic actions that are vividly recounted in his book Failing at Fatherhood. His calling to be a missionary in Thailand alongside his wife serves as the backdrop to this story of failure—but also one of redemption because the glowing embers of his faith compel him to change his path and become the father that he is meant to be.

"Heartbreaking yet hopeful, Failing at Fatherhood is a compelling, honest look at one man’s struggle to become the father that he wants to be."

"Raw.  Emotional.  Honest.  That’s Jack Barr, wearing his emotions on his sleeve, in his book Failing at Fatherhood.  If you’ve ever been traumatized by the birth of an imperfect baby, if you’ve ever found yourself in the pit of despair questioning God and wondering how you will cope, the story of Jack, his wife Jana, and their precious little Marley will not only touch your heart, it will wrench it.  But there is hope in their story—the hope that only a good God can bring.  Read Failing at Fatherhood and prepare to be changed."

"Failing at Fatherhood is artfully and candidly written to evoke painful, but therapeutic memories of when we, as fathers, may have fallen short of the high standard set by our Heavenly Father.  It reminds us of the important calling we have as dads, especially in the 21st Century when fathers are less and less a part of the family and contribute less and less to helping our kids grow to be responsible, mature, Christian adults."
