In 2025, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, about 15.3 million American children, roughly one in five, were living with their mother only. A Pew Research Center analysis found that the share of children living apart from their fathers rose from 11 percent in 1960 to 27 percent in 2010. Behind each of those numbers is a boy who grew up waiting by a window, and many of those boys are grown men now, some of them about to become fathers themselves.

As a Child with His Father is a 30-day devotional through the life of Timothy. It is written for men who grew up without a father in the house.

  • Fight the Good Fight: mercy that is not the same as trust, deciding how to answer the man who left, a meeting at a diner, and guarding what has been entrusted to you
