Good Advice for Raising Daughters - Before They're Teens!

As mentioned by another reviewer, much of the material in this book is simplistic and seems to be aimed at parents of younger daughters. However, unlike the same reviewer who gave the book only 1 star, I give the book 4 stars for at least rehashing the basics of raising a Christian daughter. Among the important points covered in the book include: 1. While parents should be involved in spiritual training, the daughter must eventually be responsible for her own life. 2. When parents are loving and affectionate to their daughters, they will not need to seek love elsewhere. 3. Suggestions for instilling good habits in your daughter. 4. Encouraging your daughter to seek wisdon through the Scriptures. 5. Teaching your daughter to avoid bad companions. 6. Helping your daughter to realize she has certain abilities given to her by God. 7. Using your daughter's problems to draw her closer to God. 8. Encouraging your daughter to think of herself less through serving others. Again, while the book seems to be overly simplistic, it doesn't hurt to be periodically reminded of the basics and common sense parents may often overlook in raising a daughter who will evenutally grow into a woman who will glorify God through her life. Being the proud daddy of 3 wonderful daughters, I don't mind the periodic reminders at all - there's too much at stake (their souls) and the world is a much different place than when I was a teenager. Read and enjoy! Recommended.

Why you should buy this book.

I feel that you should buy this book because it has excellent Christian values. It it gives a realistic approach on the life that teenagers live and how we can cope with the immorilties of this world. It shows us that we don't have to put a strain on our lives (as teenagers) in order to enjoy nice music that is apealing to our ears and worthwhile to our minds.

Sound. Biblical Advice for Postmodern Parents...

A book full of truth and wisdom - very incisive about what we should be teaching our daughters and telling us how. Full of plentiful Biblical references to assure parents that they are providing a Scriptural compass.This is a must read! -- The Discerning Reader (@zShops)
