Between “sexting,” cyber bullying, and bikinis with padded tops for 7-year-olds, James Dobson thinks mainstream culture doesn’t offer girls a pretty picture. Dobson’s Bringing Up Girls (Tyndale) is the sequel to Bringing Up Boys, which has sold more than two million copies to date.
The founder of Focus on the Family says that one of his favorite letters came from a 14-year-old girl. “I hate you dr. dobson,” she wrote. “I had to watch the dumbest movie today about sex. You made the movie. HA! Like you’d know anything about it.” Parents are producing strong-willed children, Dobson says, and he wants parents to assume responsibility.
