Say All the Unspoken Things encourages us to unlock our hearts and love more deeply, more intentionally, and more immediately so our relationships flourish and we experience all God intended in our families and friendships.
Our children, spouses, parents, and friends may know we love them, but shouldn't they hear it from us regularly and feel it profoundly? For some reason, many of us rarely share our hearts or speak those deep, hidden sentiments. Or we hold on to them for a day yet to come. John Sowers encourages us all to release the stranded and exiled words we have in our hearts-those unspoken things-so there are no doubts in our relationships nor regrets in our lives.
Written in the form of personal, heartfelt messages from a father to his daughters, these love letters will echo in your heart, reminding you that ultimately your Father in heaven loves you and is for you. This, combined with wisdom for life, will make this book a treasure for parents and grown children alike.

The story of fatherlessness is being written into the heart of this generation. It can be heard in our songs, seen in our movies, read in our blogs. It is a story of grief, pain and loss. A story of shame, loneliness and rejection. A story of missed potential and wasted opportunity. A story that desperately needs to be heard.
But fatherlessness is more than a personal tragedy. It is a growing epidemic affecting more than the single life of an individual. Fatherless youth are the driving force behind our society's biggest problems such as: gangs, teenage pregnancy, drug abuse and suicide. And all too often, the fatherless are either marginalized or ignored.
How should we respond? How do we meaningfully engage the growing story of fatherlessness? How can the faith community enter into and begin rewriting this tragic story?
It is in relationship that this generation has been wounded the most deeply; therefore, it is in relationship where the healing must begin. Intentional, intergenerational mentoring is the secret and foundational ingredient behind this new story of hope. Mentoring is also the most strategic way to reconcile the fatherless generation with God. As we make ourselves sacrificially available to this generation, we will begin to see a new wave of transformation---hope born in the story of changed destinies and lives.
