  <default_description>&lt;B&gt;2002 Gold Medallion Award winner!&lt;/B&gt; &lt;br&gt;Sensible advice and caring encouragement on raising boys from the nation's most trusted parenting expert, Dr.James Dobson. With so much confusion about the role of men in our society, it's no wonder so many parents and teachers are at a loss about how to bring up boys. Our culture has vilified masculinity and, as a result, boys are suffering. Parents, teachers, and others involved in shaping the character of boys have lots of questions. In &lt;I&gt;Bringing Up Boys,&lt;/I&gt; Dr. Dobson tackles these questions and offers advice and encouragement based on a firm foundation of biblical principles.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this one on the advice of a friend from church. And what I really appreciated from the book was the importance of a son's relationship with his father and how important it is for him to have family home. I wasn't 100% convinced by his chemestry and biology. (Those don't seem to be his strengt...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50518114">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Right or left.....it doesn't matter.  Anyone with an open mind can learn from this book.  If you're going into it with a political bias, don't bother - you've already made up your mind.  I thought this was a great book and I learned much from it.

    <body><![CDATA[I liked most of his ideas and appreciated hearing his views on the importance of the family and parents and being there for your children ALL THE TIME.  I also enjoyed the insights into the minds of boys.

I agreed with the author on almost every point, except for his push for home-schooling, and really felt empowered after reading it.
