A great read. A no-holds barred ride into true manhood from the Alpha-Dad himself. Giles kills on every page, lacing practical wisdom with the righteous indignation of a Father who has been paying attention. With the American horizon looking more and more like it's been painted with Rembrandt colors, Righteous & Rowdy gives us a road-map out of the apathetic morass of floundering, feminized fatherhood. Refreshing as it is hilarious, I can fully guarantee you won't yawn once or even park a bookmark in it because once you open it, you're not putting it down. Save the highlighter though, or the whole book will be neon yellow.
This book is not for the shiny, happy Christian who plays a game called Church. What it is: a throwback to that potent brand of Christianity that overturned pagan empires and turned the world upside down. If you're light in the loafers or you lack testicular fortitude, this book will expose you to the fetal position patriarch that secular humanism has made of you; and that feeling in the pit of your stomach will be the overwhelming sense of inadequacy that you have as a part-time, half ass Dad. Don't get mad; allow this to be the grapefruit-in-the-face symposium that God meant for you to read. Thanks Doug for calling us Out. I'm paying attention.

Caters to a very specific audience; a strong disappointment for me
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2015
I want to give this book a 1-star rating to express my disappointment in it, but for the sake of being fair, sticking with 3 stars, primarily because I can see how many people would enjoy reading something like this and find is either refreshing or helpful or both.I absolutely hated the book: read the first chapter and skimmed the rest, going faster and faster. The writing style (everything and everyone has multiple nicknames), the terminology (name-calling everyone who the author doesn't agree with or respect) and the content (God, guns and beer, Fox News, "it's spelled Dhimmocrat!") were all the exact opposite of what I was looking for in a book on raising girls. What I was hoping for was something in a way of Bringing Up Boys or Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters: 10 Secrets Every Father Should Know. My own fault for not reading the reviews more carefully.Once again, I can see how this book would be welcomed by many, but I'm writing this review to potentially prevent a poor buying decision. The two attached pictures should tell you immediately if this is a book you should buy or not.
