5.0 out of 5 stars straight forward help that parents can find easily, June 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Solid Answers (Hardcover)

Dr. Dobson always tells it to you straight. He doesn't pull any punches. The book is organized in such a way that you can look at the chapter headings and read only the area for which you have a concern or question. The answers are direct and clear. Too many parenting books are all about mind games and way too complicated. Dr. Dobson knows who his "boss" is and is trying to put those Biblical principles into a format to help parents. Best parenting resource I have - apart from the Bible itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful resource for all kinds of relationships, August 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Solid Answers (Hardcover)

The strength of this book is its clear, concise treatment of all aspects of family relationships. It is inspirational at the same time it impresses that everyone has responsibilities and commitments. It helps men and women understand one another better, and how to relate with and raise their children. Even very tough problems are dealt with honestly and openly - and in a way that helps the reader solve them.
