Publishing my book: The Invisible Father: Reversing the Curse of a Fatherless Generation

\"Where is my father? Why isn't he here? Does he love me? These are only a few of the questions that flowed constantly through my mind as a young child. See, I never knew my father; the first time I saw my father was at his funeral. I remember it as if it were yesterday. As the coffin descended into the ground, any possible chance of a long desired relationship with my father vanished before my eyes. I was fourteen then. For the majority of my life I have battled many demons in an attempt to come to grips with the fact that I have never and will never know my father.\"

The preceding passage is an excerpt from the first chapter of my book \"The Invisible Father: Reversing the Curse of a Fatherless Generation.\" I have through both, experiential observation and academic study, witnessed the devastating force of IFS (The Invisible Father Syndrome). I know first hand the lasting affect of living in the absence of a father. Fighting to overcome my own pain due to not knowing my father has ignited a passion that burns deep and flows perpetually. This passion is to ignite a movement where men are inspired to fulfill their filial responsibilities. As a Christian minister I decided to address this issue from a biblical perspective. By donating you are directly helping me to compel men to step into their roles as fathers as well as reach out to those who are plagued by the affects of being fatherless. You are also helping me share what I have learned to personally overcome mentally, emotionally, spiritually and lead a successful, free, and fulfilled life. Your donations will pay for: printing, publishing and binding of \"The Invisible Father: Reversing the Curse of a Fatherless Generation.\" (See below for a complete list of details)

What you will find below is a service letter from Addison & Craft; a small publishing company that has offered to provide complete publishing services up to printing the first 50 books for a relatively small fee in comparison to the self publishing companies I\'ve researched. Once this fee has been paid, the book and all rights to it will belong completely to me, allowing me to autonomously fund this as well as other ministerial projects I have in the works.

I believe that a great ministry will be performed through this book as we work toward the monumental task of reversing the curse of a fatherless generation.

Once again, I thank all who will plant a seed into this ministry and project. May you be blessed.

Sincerely,

Bishop Rick Wallace
