Read this interesting review from the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood concerning Donald Miller's (author of Blue Like Jazz) book To Own a Dragon.
Reviewer Robert E. Sagers sums up by saying:
"This is a sad book, but it is a sadness we need to hear. The title comes from Miller’s belief that he knows as much about what it is to have a father as he knows about what it is to own one of the dragons he read about his childhood fairy tales. We need to hear this man’s story, but we need more than this to confront the dangers of father hunger. We need a more robust announcement of the gospel, even when that means saying some hard things to fatherless non-Christians. A generation of lost young men may not know what it is to own a dragon, but the Bible tells us that a Dragon owns them (Rev 12). That’s what’s really at stake when fathers abandon their children—the gospel itself. And that’s even sadder than Miller’s tale, even bluer than Jazz."
