Book Review - Not Without the Head By Fredrick K. Ezeji-Okoye

Reviewed by Craig Ruhl (Craig was pleased to assist in the editing of this book.) ​ Fredrick K. Ezeji-Okoye has masterfully written a manual for understanding the overwhelming consequences in homes without the presence and participation of the male as head of the family. In his book, Not Without the Head, the author describes the issues of a fatherless home straightforwardly, sharing his personal experiences and then citing biblical truths to support his suggestions for addressing the various issues. To further aid the reader’s understanding, this book includes the testimonies of several men who share how they missed filling the role of head of the family. They describe the mistakes they made and how they successfully changed to become the true head of the family.

Fatherlessness, through physical or emotional absence, is epidemic with far-reaching generational implications. Not Without the Head is a much-needed guide for men and women who are contemplating marriage or are already married and want to ensure that their children grow up with a father who is not just there but also is truly the head of the family. This book should be read by all men, shared with their spouses, and then passed down to their children.
