Must read for parents with "wayward" children of any age!.......2007-09-04

A dear Christian friend recommended this book to us, when our oldest daughter started to "leave" for the "far away land" as described in the Parable of the Prodigal Son (see Luke 15:11-32).

We were so caught up in the guilt and embarassment of how our daughter had disappointed us, we were neglecting the most important assignment that God had for us - ministering to our disobedient daughter!

Our daughter has come "HOME", now, and her story is an inspiration to others... We thank God for all of the Christian people who ministered to us during that time, and we thank God for how He changed our daughter's life...

I try to keep a copy on hand, because God uses our testimony to encourage other parents on a regular basis - just like the parents who ministered to us...

Thank you, Miles McPherson, for allowing God to speak to us, through your book.

Excellent book for Christian parents.......2005-06-11

I loved "Parenting the Wild Child" by Miles McPherson and couldn't put it down once I started it. It's one of the best parenting books I've read! Pastor McPherson suggests we look a teens' misbehavior as spiritual cancers. He emphasizes 2 main points: (1) Satan is the enemy and his lies are his number one weapon against your family, and (2) God is your ally an dprayer is your most powerful and faithful weapon. Here are some of my favorite quotes:

"Your number one goal is to begin developing a ministry to your child, one through which Jesus can transform his life...

...Your wild child is in pain. He has an intense need for God in his life. Yes, when he acts out, his behavior is wrong and must be dealt with, but inside that body is a hurting boy. You do not need to coddle or make things easy for him, but he needs your help. Are you prepared to provide it?

...It can be hard for parents to change how they approach the wild child. For many, the relationship has become a battle. Most communication is in the form of arguments or attempts to discipline. To help convert your attitude toward treatment of this cancer from one based on the law to one based on grace, try to understand your child's actions. What are the reasons behind the madness in his life?

Literally hundreds of books cast light on the mother-daughter bond, but the relationship between a girl and her other parent remains stubbornly hidden in shadow. The strikingly lucent essays in Fathering Daughters do their best to repair that imbalance. There's Rodger Kamentz, who prefers speaking English straight up rather than babbling baby talk at his infant Anya--"Why offer her ears a blurry target?"--and Rick Bass, who worries about tweaking his daughters' political consciousness too hard. You want your daughters to loathe injustice, he says, but do you want them to burn as erratically and out-of-control as you do--with that much bitterness? Psychiatrist Samuel Shem observes American gender differences with some alarm as his 3-year-old daughter anxiously considers what to wear before a play date where the boy will snub her attempts to connect. Darker tales surface from Gary Soto, drowning in depression, and William Petersen, on a vacation with a daughter dying of leukemia. A few essays are irritatingly narcissistic, but the best showcase some tremendous writers capturing murmurs that swell to a roar as they echo back from our own lives. --Francesca Coltrera

Book Description

A landmark collection of original essays that fills the void of writing by men about their daughters. Contributors include Phillip Lopate, Rick Bass, Gerald Early, Gary Soto, Scott Sanders, Nicholas Delbanco, and Alan Cheuse.

For moms and dads and kids, alike.......2000-06-12

I actually gave this book to my mother who enjoyed it as much as I did. We found it a valuable illustration of relationships to be learned from and entertained by...

Forget the cover- listen to the insight.......2000-03-23

For all of you who have enjoyed works by authors such as James Alan McPherson, you will not be dissapointed by this one! The essays afforded in this collection were well arranged and complimentary, dealing with such diversities as retardation, sexual abuse, coming of age, child innocence...bottom line: a father's experience in love. The prolific writers who contributed to this book make the reading enjoyable at least as short fiction...add the truth and emotion of memoir and they become gems. You may not like each of the essays, but the collection overshadows any single dislike.

cover depicts child in sexual manner. shameful........1999-01-16

Why does the cover depict a child so sexually. It is disgusting and sad that they could not convey a child and her innocence on the cover. Sexualizing daughters on their cover contributes to the sick things being done to innocent children. Was it done to sell more?

Book Description

In 1967, Sandra McPherson's daughter Phoebe was born with Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism. In The Spaces Between Birds, McPherson collects poems from six of her published books as well as new poems, uncollected poems, and poems written under a pseudonym, that draw on her experiences as a mother to Phoebe. Representing 28 years of work, these poems describe the voyage-both wrenching and exhilarating-on which mother and daughter embarked. Interspersed are poems by Phoebe, offering an illuminating and often searing counterpoint to those of her mother. The poems poignantly evoke the world created by autism, providing a rare sense of an inner life that has long been unapprehendable, and detailing the intimacy and ultimate alienness of relations even between mother and daughter, and even between word and meaning.
