 A very thoughtful book July 24, 2008
I bought this book to help provide me tips on raising my daughter. I found the book to be very applicable to both my daughter and my son. In fact, I would even say that it's a good book for not only fathers but for both parents. It is very conservative which I personally like and carries a traditional approach towards raising daughters. I found it helpful, insightful and very encouraging. I would consider going through the book in a parent Bible Study since there are questions at the end of each chapter. I found the book very practical as well.
Excellent practical help July 13, 2008
I bought this for my son who has 2 daughters. I have read it myself and was very impressed with the excellent practical advice that Michael Farris has for fathers. This book is not for the timid, he gives fathers lots of authority but much responsibility in raising godly daughters. Liz
 Should be titled "Raising Robots" by A. Fascist July 1, 2008
7 out of 13 found this review helpful
I picked up this book because I was a soon to be father. I finished it because I was amazed with how fascist the author is. He homeschooled his children (which is fine), but he hand picked their friends. He chose his daughters' boyfriends from young men that worked for him, and if I remember correctly each daughter married their first boyfriend. I'm sure his daughters are happy, but he has raised submissive robots. Quiet scarry actually. This is called: "How a Man Prepares His Daughter for Life". I'm not sure how many people are wealthy lawyers turned politicians, but I'm assuming most do not share this man's wealth of resources and I'm hoping even fewer share his ideology of total control.
 An EXCELLENT resource April 7, 2008

I am an adoptive Father of a (now) 6 year old girl and in the two years since she and her brothers moved in I started to realize how completely lost I was. As I watched her grow and be shaped by the world around us I knew I needed some good, solid, real-world advice. Knowing that the author has raised/is raising 6 Daughters went a long way towards meeting that, "real-world" criteria!
Addressing a vast number of areas - some you'd expect, (helping to create positive friendships, communication), and others you wouldn't, (being politically aware/active) - he serves up doses of both common sense and sometimes surprising advice.
Although at 6 my Daughter is still a bit too young for some of what I read, I feel I will be a better Father for having read this book. I intend to keep it around and go back to it for gentle reminders as I need them.
We used this for a church wide study February 27, 2008

We used this book with 36 dads and ran the study for 7 weeks. This book is great for group studies because it has questions at the end of each chapter and great practical help for dads. Thanks for a good work.
