Summary: Too close to home
Review: As the father of a 12 year old, I'm terrified at the thought of her entering her teen years. Daughters & Dads is not a "feel good" book. The authors lead you through the mind of a young woman - rational, conflicted, emotional, decisive. Each chapter addresses one aspect of the daughter/dad relationship and uses anecdotes to illustrate success and failure. The anecdotes are a collection of short letters written by girls to their fathers saying things they would have liked to say in person during their adolescent years. The letters go to the heart of their relationship and personally, struck too close to home. I found myself becoming introspective and uncharacteristicly emotional. The authors are experienced therapists who have worked extensively with adolescents and families in a ministry setting. They guide the reader through their examples, interpret, and offer insights. They are careful not to preach to the reader, but also make no attempt to hide the fact that Faith is important in binding the realtionship. I would recommend this for every father who thinks they're doing a great job or, like me, feels there's too much at risk to fail.

Summary: Groundhog Day!
Review: I often feel that I am never going to get it right, just like Bill Murray in the movie, Groundhog Day! Being a father to two teenage girls is a roller coaster ride, and sometimes I just feel like I have to get off! But Daughters and Dads has been my manual for raising girls. I have read it several times, underlined, and re-read it. I can no longer plead ignorance as an excuse for not doing my job as a father. I cannot simply say, "I'll just let my wife handle them." I become convicted and jump back on the roller coaster again. I am very thankful for the ministry of the authors and for the book they have given to us! I strongly recommend it to all dads with daughters.

Summary: The Christian Book of Daughters and Dads
Review: is what the title of this should be. It's a pretty good book, the stories are indeed moving and it there are some good insights, but give me a break! How about some warning on this one for those of us who are not Christian?

Summary: The Christian Book of Daughters and Dads
Review: The letters to dads will absolutely touch your heart. I think few men truly understood the significant role they play in the lives of their daughters. This book is sure to awaken them. I think this is a subject that has never been so completely addressed until I read this book. For all father and for their daughters, this title will show you how much we need eachother. The role model many men set for their daughters is the one they will seek out in their adult lives. Therefore, is it any wonder a daughter with an absent or deadbeat dad is more likely to become attracted to men who are zero's? A wonderful gift book for any new father! Sure to provoke insight.
