Last night, I spent some time reading again some of my favorite sections in Robert Wolgemuth's book She Calls Me Daddy. Wolgemuth, father of two daughters, writes from Scripture and personal experience to convey insight to dads who are raising little girls. His experience leads to three prominent areas where fathers of daughters must excel: Honor. Boundaries. Balance.
Wolgemuth's book was first given to me by a friend when he learned that our first child would be a little girl. Since Trae was born, God decided to bless us with another little girl, Tori. Now outnumbered 3-to-1 in my home, I thought last night might just be an ideal time to harvest some more Wolgemuth wisdom.
The difficulty of raising a daughter lies in the fact that us dads never have been one. Insightful wisdom there, huh? But having never been a little girl, it is near impossible for us to know how best to react and respond in a way that truly nurtures our daughters. Wolgemuth's wisdom is practical in providing applications for fathers of girls. His book is filled with stories and illustrations from his personal experience with his daughters that communicate truth you can use.
If you are a father of a daughter, I highly recommend Wolgemuth's work to you.
