Dave's Thoughts

“This is the best book available on being a father to daughters. I have two daughters, and this book inspired me. I liked it so much that I provided a copy for every dad on my team who has a daughter. If you are a dad with a daughter, you must read this book TODAY.”

Publisher's Notes

Dads, you are far more powerful than you think you are. Your daughters need the support that only fathers can provide – and if you are willing to follow Dr. Meeker's advice on how to guide your daughter, to stand between her and a toxic culture, your rewards will be unmatched.

Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters reveals:

• The essential characteristics and virtues of strong fathers – and how to develop them
• How daughters take cues from their fathers on everything from drug use, drinking, smoking, and having sex, to self-esteem, moodiness, and seeking attention from boys
• Why girls want you to place restrictions on them (even though they'll complain when you do)
• How to become a hero to your daughter – and why she needs that more than anything
• The one mistake fathers make that is the primary cause of girls "hooking up"
• Why girls depend on the guidance of fathers through, and even beyond, their college years
• Recipe for disaster: the notion that girls "need to make their own decisions and mistakes"
• Why girls need God – and how your faith or lack thereof, will influence her
• How to communicate with your daughter – and how not to
• True stories of "prodigal daughters" – and how their fathers helped bring them back

Reviews

Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters is a sobering reminder of the awesome responsibilities of fatherhood. It strongly reinforces just how important (and unavoidable) a father's influence is on his daughter's life – for good or ill – and how dangerous this world can be for girls whose fathers aren't there to protect them, guide them, and even fight for them. It shows, in the face of the popular culture, that strong dads are essential for strong daughters. Dads, you owe it to your daughters – and to yourselves – to read this book.
