Every man carries a story of strength and shame, love and loss, pain and purpose. But behind the societal label of deadbeat dad lies a more profound fundamental truth; a wounded son's masculine heart longing to come home.
In Deadbeat Dad, Keen Arigi takes the readers on a raw and redemptive journey through the throes of fatherhood, identity and purpose. Drawing on his own transformation after the collapse of a long-term relationship with his child's mother and enduring more than a decade long inner work of healing, he exposes the roots of the father-wound, a prevalent wound in our society and shows how grace and healing becomes the pathway to redemption and restoration.
This book is not a pity story. Its a map and a mirror. It is a call to arms for a generation of men ready to heal and rise to reclaim their place as fathers, lovers, protectors, kings and priests under God's authority. Through Biblical wisdom, lived experience, psychology and cultural insights Keen invites men into a brotherhood he calls the Men.tall Dojo, a man's forge to heal the masculine soul- a movement redefining manhood as divine masculinity modelled after Christ.
Whether you are a father, son, a man searching for meaning or a woman supporting men on their healing journey or trying to understand the wound beneath the withdrawal, this book will speak to the depths of your soul and awaken something in you.
