The Father-Daughter Talk

This book is wonderful and full of insight. I had to put the book down a few times and shed a few tears because I was able to see where I experienced many things before, that I never had any Father to inform me of. I found myself angry with myself for not knowing but then I gave myself grace because it's ok to not know, but once you do know you do better!...I recommend this book for every teenage girl and also many adult women!

I am a follower and fan of RC Blakes. His videos and teachings has empowered me. I grew up with a present father, but I’ve still experienced my fair share of pain and trauma from coming of age and dealing with men. As a 40+ year old woman, yes, a lot of what he speaks about in the book are things I’m aware of already, however, I’m still glad I purchased the book. It’s been a good starting point for me, as I go on a self love journey, and strengthen my walk with Christ. I’ve got his second book Queenology, and in it, he states it’s the follow up to “The Father Daughter Talk”. For that reason, I decided to purchase it. It was a good, sensible read, which I finished in 2 days. I’ll be holding onto it and passing it along to my niece

I highly recommend you to buy this book. It has good teachings honestly

It helped me as a woman who’s dad was passed away at a young age… thanks Sir…🌺

This book is NOT just for the "fatherless daughters" described by many sociologists and psychotherapists. To make this statement clear, I'd challenges you to consider professional athletes. Athletes with a good playbook still study their plays. They don't learn them and leave them on a shelf to collect dust--They REVIEW various techniques long after learning them in order to MASTER them.Since reading this text, I've been challenged to think more critically about my own, "Father Daughter talks" and I'd challenge other women to do the same. Are you REALLY applying those lessons and insights your father shared with you or are those lessons somewhere collecting dust in the far regions of your mind? Could this be part of the reason you've yet to become the woman you so deeply desire to be?You may have heard similar truths from your own father, but the GREAT thing is--WISDOM is something you CAN'T get enough of! Furthermore, if you were blessed to have a father that taught you how to avoid the pitfalls many women experience, you have a responsibility to pass that wisdom on--this book will equip you in doing JUST that!Women of ALL ages and walks of life need the wisdom that is in this text. There are things that were apart of my "process" of becoming the woman that I am today, that this book explains in a way that is down to Earth and easy to comprehend. As women, we also need to understand that even when we've matured, we can't forget those lessons that were shared with us. We have to share them in order to keep ourselves motivated and to pass on tools to the next generation.Simply put, read this book and share it with others. It will give you the tools you need to empower others and further empower yourself!

I bought this book for my daughter, niece and myself. As a Mom, I wanted to make sure I read the book and give my stamp of approval!I knew it would be good so I bought the copies!I read this book and could not put it down.There is so much wisdom in this book!It is actually “timeless” and should remain in print.Every teen, young lady, adult woman should have this book.It is a great reminder for adult woman so please do not knock. So a seed and buy a young lady this book as well.

I came across the author on YouTube, and, when I learned he had written The Father Daughter Talk, I went to Amazon to buy a copy, but it was sold out. I had to wait for my copy, and I am glad to have finally received it. It is filled with many sentences of wisdom. One of the most important appears in my subject line: "Test him", and it refers to R.C. Blakes's advice to women to test their suitors.Many women these days are bludgeoned and weakened by their social conditioning---just think of all the "love" songs targeting women where she is either falling apart or completed because of a man. Whitney Houston's "I have NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING (she actually does sing this thrice) if I don't have you" comes to mind, but that's just one example of many. Men are NOT nearly as targeted by social conditioning to feel as worthless as women without a counterpart. R.C. Blakes insinuates that the reason for this is that if the playing field were actually equal, intelligent women would surpass men in mastery (page 131). So, it would seem, society conspired to keep the mature, intelligent, dynamic woman down and "in her place". Furthermore, it seems that when women DO get to positions of power in most conventional workplaces, they often lose femininity, becoming more like men, to get (and stay) there.There's a lot of so-called men out there who are only trying to use women, and, this kind of man, as the author points out on page 137: "is only paying attention because of what he wants from her. Once he's reached his HIDDEN desire, he often moves on".R.C. Blakes gives the antidote to this female social conditioning and mistreatment. Encapsulated, it appears on page 75: "Don't settle for treatment that is beneath you". Elaborated, that means, on page 74: "A woman has to become intolerant of promises, wishes, and hopes". THIS is what a man who seeks to use her will prey upon---that, despite evidence to the contrary, she will cling to "promises, wishes, and hopes", and that will be used against her to serve him.One of my favorite Quotes appears on page 110, and expounds upon the premise of being intolerant of mistreatment. I will copy it in full here and end my review with it: "Have it etched in your mind that there are certain levels beneath which you will not stoop. You should be so resolute concerning this that you are willing to live single for the rest of your days before you allow yourself to be degraded and disrespected".

Great buy.

I very rarely leave reviews, but I must say, that this is one of the most valuable books, which one, especially women, could ever possibly hope to read. I started reading it a few hours ago and I am already halfway through it. It has helped me tremendously in putting some puzzle pieces together and shedding lights on many questions in a way, that is easy to understand and follow. Thank you Pastor R.C. Blakes for offering us to opportunity to open our eyes!

Ill will share with my sister, cousin, niece.This game some men play it without knowing it.Ill share with my father, brother, cousin...French traduction soon?

For any women who is feeling used, abused, heartbroken and confused as to why no relationship will work out for her. This book has changed the game by opening my eyes to the games men play. A real eye opener. Thank you R.C Blakes. My spiritual father.

Hmmm mixed feelings about this. As a Christian woman striving for holiness I found a bit of inconsistencys especially the part where he talks about modesty and how modesty back in the days of Paul would not apply today. God's word is the same yesterday, today and forever more. Other than that, there are a few other things I didn't agree with. But, needless to say; It was good to get the perspective of a man and how good it is to value yourself as a woman.

Wonderful book, love listening to Bishop Blakes teachings. Wish I knew these principles when I was younger. A must read for teenage daughters, nieces, women of any age to understand what we need to guard ourselves from and knowing your value.
