Summary: Solid practical advice, easy to read
Comment: This book has the nice manly theme of "building a daughter" and uses building analogies frequently. It starts out by admitting that for most all of us, we can honestly say, "I'd rather start a project than finish it." But in the project of building a well rounded daughter, we must keep up our work and finish well. Seven main areas are covered: Protection, Conversation, Affection, Discipline, Laughter, Faith, and Conduct. There are many stories from the author's experience of raising two girls, which are sometimes instructive. Each chapter ends with a "builder's checklist" that summarizes the main points, which is good for later review.
On a few occasions the principles seemed a bit simplistic, but then again, this is a book written to men, and we can be quite dense sometimes when it comes to relating to women, even (or perhaps especially) the "little women" that are in the life of a father. Due to the broad nature of the books scope, some topics are only covered very briefly, which is understandable.
This is of course written from a Christian perspective, and although the only Scripture is in last chapter, the principles of the book are based on many biblical principles. The discussion questions at the end are quite brief, but could be interesting if you could actually get a group of dads together to discuss them. The book is a quick read and very practical, just what Dad's need. If all dads in our society tried to apply these principles, our culture would be radically different.

Summary: Do you want to excell at fatherhood???!?!!!!
Comment: As a father of 2 young daugthers (9 & 7), I found this book to be both enlightening and humorous. I was able to read it during a business trip and once I picked it up I was unable to put it down, forsaking my business responsibilities in order to continue reading this book. The serious but light hearted approach that the author takes to partenting is wonderful and the little tips that are given along the way (laughter, hand squeezing ideas, ect.) have been used in our home and brought much laughter and love. I highly recomed this book to fathers with daughters of any age (in fact I purchased 30 copies to give to friends and family members for Christmas) . I assure you that if read, it will be a blessing to both you and especially your daughter.

Summary: A practical toolkit for raising daughters
Comment: I have three daughters and this book has provided invaluable, practical advice to help me raise them. I was one of three sons and had no clue how to relate to little girls. Robert Wolgemuth does an excellent job of teaching general concepts while also providing specific "how-to's". There is advice for fathers of young girls (mine are 7, 4 and 1) and also for fathers of teenagers (the dreaded dating years!!).
In a nutshell, five stars is not enough, this is an excellent book and I highly recommend it!
