Daddy Dates

As a dad to one precious daughter I was looking forward to diving into Daddy Dates by Greg Wright from the moment I saw the title. I have read numerous books on parenting, and some specifically for dad's and daughters, but this one was highly anticipated since the author has four daughters himself. What I liked from the start with this book was the humility of the author. He does not come out with a new "how to" or offer some theory of parenting that works with everyone; he is simply sharing his story of how he raised and continues to raise his daughters. My goal has been to be a hero to my own daughter and have her look to me as an example of how a man should act towards women. I often fail and fall short, and this is why it is great to have a plan and an outline. You may stray from it periodically but this book can certainly help you stay on course. One of the best reminders for me as a dad, and I think all men can relate, is the reminder that we try to fix things and don't give sufficient time for listening and hearing. Allowing for your daughter to talk without offering solutions every time is something I will have in my mind from now on....even when it is painful to do so. One of the key points that the author has done with his daughters is in regards to dating. Without spoiling this, it certainly will spark a conversation, regardless whether or not you agree with it. I admit, it has me thinking even though my daughter is not that age yet. For the fathers out there that are trying their best to understand women, specifically your daughter(s) this is a great book. I would highly recommend it to all fathers as you will undoubtedly glean at least a couple ideas that will help you be the father that God intended.
I did receive this book from the Booksneeze bloggers program for free in exchange for an honest review and was not compelled to post an positive review.
