A Dad's Prayers for His Daughter by Rob & Joanna Teigen

When I first requested this book, I did not realize these were the same authors of another favorite book of mine and my husband's, 88 Great Daddy-Daughter Dates.  I had gleaned so many new ideas and could hardly wait for my husband to take our daughter on those simple, yet meaningful dates.  I know it was geared for dads, but it was good ideas for me, too.

In the same way, this book is similar to that one.  It's similar not in content, but in the fact that it is for dads with lots of ideas for moms.  I really like these simple prayers for the different areas for our children.  We so many times pray generically or only when there's a problem for them.  I loved pondering on my daughter and spending time praying over her. 

I passed this book off to my husband so he could glean some ideas from it.  The prayers are definitely from the heart and written with lots of love.  I like the stories they tell within the pages, too.

I think this would be a fun study for dads to do.  Can you imagine what it would be like to have a room full of men praying over their daughters?!  Definitely a book that will be used over and over again.

88 Great Daddy-Daughter Dates by Rob & Joanna Teigen



I was so excited to get this book mostly so I could save it for my husband to use in a few years with our daughter.  She's only one right now, but I know that he is going to need some help thinking of things to do with her that are meaningful to her and show her that he cares and loves her.

This book is a wonderful guide that is practical and full of ideas that make it easy for dads who are a little less creative at how to find ways to relate or spend time solely with their daughter.  It starts out with choosing an activity to do, such as putt putt and pictures or washing your wheels or being a blessing to mom, or even silly sock day. There are 80 dates to choose from in this book but there are also 8 Extreme Dates if a Dad chooses to go for a little more alone time with their daughter.  That includes things such as table for two or a camping trip or theme park.

Once you've chosen the date, you follow the "grab" list that tells you exactly what you need to take with you or get.  Then you get to the "Go" section.  This tells you what to do on your date, where to go, ideas to think about.  It lays out the blueprint for your date.  Finally, the most important part to me is the "Grow" section.  This has a list of questions to think about asking your daughter or conversation starters that will help you relate the date to personal experiences.  It even shares a Scripture that relates, as well as a prayer that you can pray with your daughter.  Included in that page are also a few quotes, which I loved.  This whole conversation isn't just you asking questions.  It reminds you to tell you daughter of a time that you experienced what you are talking about with her.  This makes it personal.

I can't wait for my husband to use this as a guide.  I know he will get lots of use out of it and hopefully it will help him think of other ideas as he goes along.  I recommend this book for EVERY father of a daughter.  In fact, I think Father's Day is coming up...
