If "pure and faultless religion is to care for orphans and widows in their distress," how many of us are REALLY walking in a pure and faultless religion? This short (but profound) book will challenge you to put feet to your faith & action to your beliefs. Fields of the Fatherless is about giving ourselves to sacrificial, compassionate living.

This book just hits home. About my past, my future, my inspirations, I absolutely love it. It was a great read for my trip to Africa as well. I recomend this to anyone who wants to help children or does not have a father around.

Great principles about how all Christians are called to care for orphans, widows and strangers. It's inspiring and a fast read, but I didn't feel like this was a really unique take on the subject.
