A father plays a unique and special role in every child’s life--one that is unable to be duplicated or substituted by any earthly being. A father is a protector to his child, a provider, a guide, a listener, and a loving disciplinarian who is stern but gentle at the same time.
However, unfortunately, due to circumstances no child could control or ever wish for, sometimes children are left without a father during their most formative and impressionable years. That’s why Marcus Snell has written a helpful tool for the fatherless Christian child, along with the single parent, Guide for the Fatherless.
Maybe your child is fatherless because of a divorce, a death, or a prison sentence. In any case, no matter the reason for the father to be absent from a child’s life, they are left with a disadvantage, but this guide will help the single parent and child know how to rely on the ultimate loving Father, and that is God. Though He isn’t physically present with us here on earth, He can fulfill any void a child may have growing up with an absent father.
“The life of a child is something to behold, and when given the proper attention,
there are levels of flourishing that cannot be denied.”
Marcus I. Snell, a dynamic man of God who for years led a lifestyle of crime and disorder that led him to a prison cell; where he himself experienced the power of God on a personal level. Having served 10 plus years in the Indiana Department of Corrections he hasn’t allowed the prison walls to hinder the purpose of God in his life. Marcus is the epitome of what it means to be free indeed beyond any faced circumstance. Marcus himself grew up without the constant presence of a Father but through the power of forgiveness God has now birthed through Marcus “Guide for the Fatherless” to impart the truth of God’s magnificent power through practical principles, love and forgiveness.
