Straight Talk

Description for STRAIGHT TALK: WHAT MEN NEED TO KNOW, WHAT WOMEN SHOULD UNDERSTAND by Dr. James C Dobson:

There's an aching need in today's complex, fast-paced society: Men are finding it increasingly difficult to provide leadership for their families and to get their priorities in order.

As a result, home life is fragmenting. Women are frustrated and angry. And men are leading emotionally empty and unsatisfying lives.

STRAIGHT TALK offers help for that disabling dilemma. With typical insight and practicality, Dr. James Dobson shows that home leadership---even superb, first-rate home leadership---need not be a frustrating impossibility for men today.

Reducing the task to manageable components, Dr. Dobson outlines a workable plan for family leadership in the 90s. He explains exactly what a good father is and what a loving husband does. He prescribes straight-forward, easy-to-use leadership concepts men can easily put into practice. And he offers specific help for typical problem areas: wives, children, priorities, work, money, masculinity, emotions, sexuality, midlife, God, and mortality.

STRAIGHT TALK is not a roster of do's and don'ts. Instead, it is a fresh, bold redefinition of what it means to be a successful man. It is a warm and intensely personal guidebook to making family relationships work. And it is a heartfelt challenge to men to commit to proven leadership ideas that will give their families direction, stability, security, and happiness.
