Dr. James Dobson is a conservative evangelical Christian, a pediatrician, psychologist, & founder of FOCUS ON THE FAMILY, a daily radio program found on over 6,000 stations worldwide in more than a dozen languages. He is chairman of the board of a nonprofit organization based in Colorado of the same name, which he founded in 1977. His programs are estimated to be heard by more than 200 million people every day in 164 countries, and Focus on the Family is also on 80 US television stations daily. Dobson holds a doctorate in child development from the University of California. He was an Associate Clinical Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Southern California School of Medicine for fourteen years. He spent seventeen years on the staff of the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles in the Division of Child Development and Medical Genetics. He is a long-time counsellor, both for children & adults. He is listed in Who's Who in Medicine and Healthcare. He also has a long list of honorary doctorates from various institutions. At the invitation of presidents and attorneys general, Dobson has also served on government advisory panels and testified at several government hearings. Today's men, Dobson says, feel assailed by complex and ,quite often, contradictory demands. In a fully updated edition of Straight Talk, noted Christian family psychologist Dr. James Dobson opens a clear path through the confusion of men's role at every stage of male adulthood. We think this very candid book belongs on every family's bookshelf! QUOTES: "A man is seldom first to seek marriage counseling, and when he does, it is for a different motive than his wife seeks it. She comes because her marriage is driving her crazy. He comes because his wife is driving him crazy." "It is my guess that 90 percent of the divorces that occur each year involve at least some of these elements — an extremely busy husband who is in love with his work and who tends to be somewhat insensitive, unromantic and noncommunicative, married to a lonely, vulnerable, romantic woman who has severe doubts about her worth as human being. They become a matched team: he works like a horse and she nags. " " The truth is, the same circumstances that destroy non-Christian marriages can also be deadly in the homes of believers. I’m not referring to alcoholism or infidelity or compulsive gambling. The most common marriage killer is much more subtle and insidious." This book pulls NO punches! It really is straight talk with no excuse making for either spouse! If you REALLY want to solve marital problems, or understand where they're REALLY stemming from, READ THIS BOOK! Two-thumbs up for another Dobson classic!Read full review
