Um...read? What's that?

I would consider buying this for husband for Christmas if I thought he would actually read it and take it to heart. Unfortuntely, if it's something that benefits me, the kids, or the family as a whole - he's not going to be interested.

Now, if it was a book about a cave/cavers/bats/rope/knots/how to grow your own weed.....he'd be ALL OVER IT!

Go figure.....

Dear Fellow Conservative,

Who is the most important person in a young girl's life? Her father!

That's right... and teen health expert Dr. Meg Meeker has the data and clinical experience to prove it. After more than twenty years of counseling girls, she knows that fathers, more than anyone else, set the course for their daughters' lives.

Now, in her new book Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters, she shows you how to strengthen -- or rebuild -- your bond with your daughter, and use it to shape her life, and yours, for the better.

Directly challenging the feminist attack on traditional masculinity, Dr. Meeker demonstrates that the most important factor for confident, well-adjusted women is a strong father with conservative values.

A strong father, she shows, is the best protection against:

Eating disorders
Failure in school
Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Unwed pregnancy
Drug or alcohol abuse
And a strong, conservative father is the best predictor of academic achievement, successful marriage, and a satisfying emotional life!

In Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters, Dr. Meeker shows convincingly that daughters need the support that only fathers can provide. She shows dads how to guide their daughters, how to help them guard against dangerous influences, and how to use their special bond to shape their lives for the better.

10 Secrets Every Father Should Know

Using the best medical research, experience from her own practice, and numerous interviews, Dr. Meeker shows why Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters is not a slogan -- it's a necessity.

Her new book 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
According to the nationally syndicated radio talk-show host Michael Medved, Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters is "a touching, illuminating book that will prove valuable to all of us who are fortunate enough to have been blessed with daughters."

Are you a dad with a daughter, or do you know somebody who is? Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters is the perfect gift idea for yourself or for every father you know. In fact, this book is a must-read for all conservative parents.
