She Still Calls Me Daddy

Friday, July 10, 2009

I signed up to review books for Thomas Nelson. I got my first book yesterday and read it in one night! Here is my first attempt at writing a review for a major publishing company.

She Still Calls Me Daddy Building a New Relationship with Your Daughter After You Walk Her down the Aisle By Robert Wolgemuth Thomas Nelson Publisher

She Still Calls Me Daddy is more than a “book to read”. This book is inspirational and biblical based guide to help fathers, as well as mothers, understand the “emotional roller coaster” that will begin the moment their little girl says, “I do”. The author says, “Giving her away at the altar doesn’t mean completely giving up the relationship that you’ve so carefully built over the years, it just means that the relationship is going to need some substantial renovation”.

It does not matter if your daughter is two or 22, this book takes you from the moment your daughter is born to the day she says “I do”. It is a must read for any father or mother. It will aid you in the many changes that will take place when the day comes to “let your little girl go”.

I highly recommend reading this book. I read it in one night and enjoyed every moment of it. I loved the many scripture references. I loved the personal account of what the author went through himself. I also loved the examples of biblical marriages used throughout the book.

Although my father was not alive to walk me down the aisle and “let me go” I do have a daughter and this book will aid me in knowing what her father will go through when he walks her down the aisle. I will know what to expect as well. (I am a member of Thomas Nelson’s Book Review Blogger program http://brb.thomasnelson.com/) Grace and Peace

Valerie, I'm so glad you're now participating in this program! I've been doing it since Nov. and most of my reviews have been through this program. Though I didn't choose this particular book, it looks like a good one. And you did a great job on your first review! Can't wait to see what you chose for your next one! Blessings!

Hello Valerie! I have made a new blog and invite you to have a look. It is called "Stums of A.W.E.". The word "stum" I have created myself, it means "Small Teasing Uniformed Message". Also "stum" in Norwegian is "speachless/breathless". I will not post on the blog regularly, I believe, but do when I feel for it. :-)

GRACE

A weekend of the finest sort
I wish you. Let it be a port
by which a death and birth takes place,
the week to end and start with grace!

And I have created a Twitter account. By the way: If you click on your own Twitter symbol (in the sidebar of yours) you will discover you have forgotten to write your username in the code. :-)
