There is a cry echoing across our generation—an ache that no success, substance, or self-help can silence. It is the cry of the fatherless.

In this soul-piercing, culture-confronting book, Dr. Scott Infante peels back the layers of a silent epidemic: fatherlessness. Whether through physical abandonment or emotional absence, the wound left behind is more than personal—it’s generational. It’s spiritual.

From a five-year-old boy left standing in the road as his father drove away…

To a teenager unknowingly shaped by that rupture…

To a society collapsing under the weight of disconnected men and disoriented sons…

The Absent Man invites you on a journey into the heart of the wound—and the God who alone can heal it. This is not a self-help book. It’s a cry for reformation. A roadmap for the brokenhearted.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• The true cultural and spiritual cost of the father wound
• How fatherlessness fuels identity confusion, performance addiction, narcissism, and rebellion
• The orphan spirit: what it is, how it forms, and why it haunts even those with present fathers
• Why our generation is both over-fathered by control and under-fathered by love
• The biblical path to healing through the revealed face of God the Father
• How you can recover your sonship—and become the father (or mother) your children desperately need

Dr. Infante blends raw personal story, cultural insight, biblical truth, and prophetic urgency to reveal what’s behind the fractures in our families, our faith, and our future. This is not just about the absence of a man in the home. It’s about the devastating loss of the Father’s image in the heart of a generation.

We are not abandoned. We are not forgotten. The Father is calling us home.
