You’re almost a teenager. And he’s the most important guy in your life—Dad! He’s your protector, guide, coach, cheerleader, and so much more. As you grow and change, so does your relationship. It’s exciting—and scary for you both.
Marilyn C. Hilton’s It’s All About Dad and Me zeroes in on the unique relationship dads and daughters share. Hilton has assembled a chest of easy-to-use tools for building that relationship into lifelong rapport: questions daughters can ask their dads (and vice versa), discussion starters, crafts, journaling ideas, stories, questions and answers, advice, and bios of Bible dads. Through this building process, fathers and daughters learn to understand and appreciate how vital they are to each other.
Marilyn adeptly explains how a daughter’s relationship with her dad influences her beliefs about and relationship with God. Dads are led to understand that interaction with their daughters not only expresses fatherly love and concern, but also demonstrates God’s care.
Although the world tends to marginalize dads, It’s All About Dad and Me empowers fathers and daughters to live and flourish in God’s design for them.
It’s All About Dad and Me is a great gift idea for Father’s Day, birthday, or just because!
