Synopsis

Dave Willis, author, speaker, and father of four boys, talks biblically and practically about how to raise a generation of boys who are champions, encouragers, and respecters of women.In the #metoo and #churchtoo era, with so many men and boys continuing to make the same mistakes, we have to ask: Where are we going wrong? And perhaps more importantly, how do we raise up men who will break this cycle?As the father of four boys, relationship coach and author Dave Willis has studied this issue deeply, concluding that if we are to raise boys to respect girls­--and not end up with men who say they respect women but whose actions reveal otherwise--we must go back to the heart of things. Or, more specifically, we must go back to our own hearts.In Raising Boys Who Respect Girls, Willis helps listeners inventory the blind spots that lead to accidental forms of disrespect, showing how to root out issues in our own hearts before we inadvertently pass along these same issues to our boys. He also teaches listeners how to cultivate a healthy respect for God and for themselves as created in his image, as well as a similar respect for others. Full of scripture, research, age-specific tools, and conversation models, this audiobook offers a practical strategy for mindful parents to first embody the right principles themselves and then teach them to their sons.

Goodreads review by Jessica

Well I definitely was not the audience for this book….I didn’t realize it was geared towards men and fathers. I just thought it was geared toward parents. While it gave me a lot of good insights, for me it wasn’t a lot of new info to have as a woman and mother. But I do think it is a great resource......more

Goodreads review by Neeva

The author seems like a genuine person with good motives who sees a legitimate problem in how men treat women today. However for a book on teaching boys to respect girls, there is surprisingly little about girls themselves. It’s mostly about his perspective on manhood and sexuality. While I apprecia......more

Goodreads review by Julie

I was hoping for a lot more from this book. The topics they did cover were well thought out. The book ended up being exclusively about sexual purity and respect of women in that sense. I feel like that’s the bare minimum. Yes of course, PLEASE teach your boys that women are not objects for your plea......more
