Customer Reviews

Dobson articulates with clarity and conviciton the values of a Christian man

This book was given to me as a 20 something single man who hadn't thought through a lot of what Dr. Dobson discusses. What he articulates in his book with clarity and conviction is what I felt in my heart to be the values that should have been driving my life all along, but were not. I was extremely influenced my the mainstream culture, was selfish, and not leading the life that God had created me to live. Dobson was the only voice speaking to me the words that I knew in my heart to be true and taking the mainstream, self-centered culture apart and showing it for all its short-comings. Throughout school and in my early professional life I had repressed so much because I could find no one in my peer group that would affirm what was in my heart so I put on the values of those around me, but it was leading me to greater and greater morose. Dobson's words were there to lift me up and encourage me. When you read Straight Talk to Men it is my prayer that it will reach your heart too and put you on a path to walking with your loving heavenly Father. Thanks.

best ever

I recommend this book to all men and women! Young and old.

An excellent book on fathering

I first read this book 25 years ago when it first came out. At that time I was a new pastor and the father of two pre-school children. They are now raised, happily married to Christians and serving their Lord faithfully. They are a complete joy to their mother and I. Period. Much of the wisdom applied to raising them either came from or was reinforced by Dr. Dobson's book. I recommend "Straight Talk to Men and Their Wives" highly and have done so for the past two deacades as one of the best books on family philosophy available today. However, it is straight talk, and for those who can't take that heat, get out of the kitchen and quit whining. But for those who want to learn something about parenting, this is an excellent work.
