Great book!!!!!!!!!!!, June 1, 2004
This review is from: Children at Risk (Audio Cassette)
I read this book many years ago as a teenager when it was first published. This book offers great insight to the parent who is concerned about how America is raising children today. Statistics speak clearly. How much teen violence and broken homes exist today.way over 50%.
I think that the book is somewhat of a guide and needed informational tool that any person can gain from. being a christian mom, i completly understand and appreciate the values and issues outlined in this book.
Yet another graet book by Dr. James Dobson

More silly conservative agitprop, November 12, 1999
This review is from: Children at Risk (Audio Cassette)
Let's deconstruct the book's synopsys:
"On one side are those who defend family, faith and traditional values. On the other side are those who aggressively reject any hint of tradition or religion and want a society based on secular values. "
Manichean dualism at its most stark. The "good" "Christians" (heirs to the defenders of slavery, genocide of the OT, colonialism, etc.) want to keep the game going. The "bad" guys want to see an end put to this hypocrisy.
"James Dobson and Gary Bauer say that both value systems cannot co-exist."
Because they are at heart religious bigots.
"And the one that prevails will control the hearts and minds of America's children."
Because they hate the idea that America's children might, ahem, think for themselves.
