"The culture tells us that the lines separating male and female are
meaningless, but Glenn Stanton has tapped into the critical
importance of recognizing and cultivating the distinct qualities of
boys and girls. His book gives parents practical tools to help them
appreciate and develop the femininity of their dauthers and the
masculinity of their sons. Glenn's work demonstrates that each
gender is uniquely gifted by God for a purpose, and by celebrating
these gender-specific behaviors and attitudes, we strengthen

Christianity-how mothers and fathers both guide their children into
healthy, balanced, and authentic masculinity and femininity. I know
moms and dads-as well as those who want to understand how and why
gender matters-will be helped by this important book."

"Glenn Stanton has courageously addressed one of the most
challenging and rarely discussed aspects of parenting: what is the
essence of your child's gender? His observations are not only
insightful, but also practical. In a world steeped in gender
confusion, this resource is invaluable."
-Dr. Juli Slattery, author and psychologist, Focus on the
Family
"We live in a time of almost breathtaking confusion over things
that should be basic, like the difference between boys and girls.
Parents need good guidance in the midst of such confusion, and
Glenn Stanton offers this kind of advice in Secure Daughters,
Confident Sons. The secular world tells us that masculinity and
femininity are merely social constructs that we must learn to
leave behind, but Stanton believes that a proper understanding of
manhood and womanhood is essential to Christian faithfulness and
human happiness. I am thankful for his conviction and his
courage."
-Dr. R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of the Southern Baptist
Theology Seminary
