As the parent of a daughter, would you like to receive sound biblical advice and counsel from one of America’s leading authorities? The new 10-day series, taken from Dr. James Dobson’s book entitled, Bringing Up Girls, is where you’ll find it. Dr. Dobson begins with the assumption that parents have the God-given responsibility of not just overseeing the growth and development of their girls (and boys), but raising them purposely—building into them qualities and traits of character.

 

Wise King Solomon addressed that obligation in Scripture more than 2,900 years ago when he wrote, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6, KJV). The apostle Paul added another dimension when he wrote, “Fathers, do not exasperate your children: instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4).

 

Consider the implications of those two Scriptures. They emphasize that a child should be taught to revere God and His Son, Jesus Christ, and to understand the spiritual dimension of life. That is their first and most important meaning. But they instruct parents to take it further than that.

 

That’s why the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute developed this series—to reveal the most critical aspects of your role as the parent of a girl. It’s designed to equip you with wisdom to lead your daughter in becoming the woman God desires her to be.
