Good stuff...although I grew up with a Dad, Miller always offers some good advice/observations. I only regret these books weren't around when i was 20-something (but i was probably too self-absorbed to read them anyway). Good dads are almost as rare as fire-breathing dragons--or at least it seems. New from Donald Miller, author of the critically acclaimed Blue Like Jazz, comes a gut-wrenching honest look at growing up without a father. In his uniquely compelling style, Miller (and John MacMurray--the man who taught Donald many of the lessons his dad never did) reflects on what it is a father might have told him about identity, women, money, spirituality, fatherhood and more. Through Millers personal narrative and MacMurrays wisdom, children of absent fathers will discover how to pick up the broken pieces of a fatherless childhood...and put them back together. no reviews | add a review

I usually don't like very many modern Christian authors, but he is a great writer. To Own a Dragon is a close-up look at some of the things he has dealt with, and I recommend it to any guy, Christian or not, fatherless or not. ( )
