I thought this was a smart idea for a book. We like to do daddy/mommy daughter/son dates when we can and it's nice to have some great ideas to pick from. This book is not just a list of places to go though. It's so much more.

Each Idea includes a few sections: Grab (i.e. what you need), Go (some are to do at home), Grow (how to make it a learning opportunity without curbing the fun) and a prayer at the end. The grow sections range from simple fun questions (what animal would you want to be) to de

The book is very well written. The authors found a way to make every fun activity a way to grow with God and each other without taking away any of the fun. There are a range of activities so you can find something when you don't have a lot of time or a lot of money as well as when you can be more extravagant.

I really enjoyed the Grow section even just reading the book. It was almost like reading a good devotional and it really made me think.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

There are a handful of books I wish had been printed during my childhood or early adulthood. 88 GreatDaddy-Daughter Dates is one of them. Had this book been out when my father was raising me, my relationship with him when I endured my teen years could have been much stronger. I am grateful my daughter has an opportunity to have the strong relationship with her Daddy I wish I had as a child.

There are a handful of books I wish had been printed during my childhood or early adulthood. 88 GreatDaddy-Daughter Dates is one of them. Had this book been out when my father was raising me, my relationship with him when I endured my teen years could have been much stronger. I am grateful my daughter has an opportunity to have the strong relationship with her Daddy I wish I had as a child.

Rob and Joanna Teigen have put an invaluable resource into the hands of fathers. Within the pages of their book are multiple date ideas complete with supply checklists and budget boundaries under the label of "Grab," an introduction to the date idea and instructions under the label of "Go," and a brief devotion for Dad to discuss with his girl and a prayer for their date under the label "Grow." There are several additional resources listed throughout the book, each related to one of the dates.

I began reading this book out loud to my husband as he and my daughter planned a night out. The "Be a Blessing to Mom" date mentioned doing something for mom. Initially, he rolled his eyes at me. "Yeah, it's all about you," he chided. Much to my surprise, when they arrived home, our daughter bore a gift for me. "We picked this out for you, Mommy. Because we love you." It touched my heart, to say the least. The lesson? It's important to remember how much mom does for us every day and to remind her how special she is. For a mother whose primary love language is Acts of Service, this daddy/daughter date speaks volumes. I pray one day my daughter has a husband and children who will honor her in such ways.

What I love about these dates is that they encourage fathers to strengthen their relationships with their daughters. They encourage fathers to get their daughters talking and then to listen to what they have to say about themselves and life. The dates encourage dads to go the extra mile, to teach their daughters what godly women should expect from someone who claims to love them. This is a book fathers should own, no matter what age their princess is.

The second thing I love about these dates is the budget feature. Some dates require very simple things one can find in the closet at home. Others simply require a little gas money. Some are "home dates" and others require dad to take his daughter out. At the end of the book are several dates that require far more money and/or resources but provide memories of a lifetime, such as "Horsing Around" (go for a horseback ride) and "Camping Trip." Finally, at the end of the book, is a list of twenty dates a father can do with his teenaged daughter.

As a daughter, I feel this is an extremely important book for fathers. As I said, if my dad and I had the opportunity to go on these dates, our relationship when I was a teen would have been much stronger. I'm incredibly thankful to the Teigens for taking the time to write this resource and to Revell for publishing it. Such wisdom from both. Dads, it's time to take your daughters out…

Please note: I received a free copy of this book from the publisher for the sake of review. I am not required to give a good review. I give my review based upon my own opinion of the book.

88 Great Daddy-Daughter Dates is available March 2012 at your favorite bookseller from Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group.

I was privileged to meet Rob Teigen (co-author) at the Orange Conference last month. When he heard I did book reviews he graciously offered me a copy of his book to review. Believe me when I say, it was truly my pleasure!

I was immediately captivated by the intro as Rob talked about the importance of a daddy in a girl's life. SO important! Completely resonating with my own beliefs and my own heart's cry to have daddys be present in their little girls' lives I was ready to dive in.

Each of the 88 dates is so special. Some are simple and practical and some are more involved but each one is wonderful. The doing has little impact in comparison to the being. Date #10 "A Walk in the Night" is as simple as taking your girl out in the yard with flashlights and hot cocoa and providing a chance to talk. There are some sample questions to ask but the authors make it clear that their is no special recipe, just spend time together. Date #81 is a "Table for Two" and involves a fancy dinner with your girl where you treat her like the princess she is.

As the daughter of a daddy who was intentional about dating me I love this book! So much of who I am today is because my daddy took time to be with me. I highly recommend this book. Very simple, practical, and special. Way to go Teigens!

Practicle, easy-to-read, and well-crafted, 88 Great Daddy-Daughter Dates is a must-have resource for every father of little girls. I myself have talked many times about the importance of going on "dates" with my daughters, and have succeeded at doing so a couple of times. However, I must confess that my creative juices run out quickly, and I am often unsure of how to make the time we spend together special and memorable.

I myself have talked many times about the importance of going on "dates" with my daughters, and have succeeded at doing so a couple of times. However, I must confess that my creative juices run out quickly, and I am often unsure of how to make the time we spend together special and memorable. This is precisely where Joanna and Rob Teigen have come to the rescue, providing a truly usable book of ideas for fathers with ideas of what to do. Each date has a section entitled "Grab", which lists the items needed for that particular date, followed by a section called "Go" with directions on how the date should progress. However, my favourite section is the "Grow" section, which helps you turn that date into a teachable moment that points back to their relationship with God.

My daughters are very excited about this book, and I am extremely thankful for the creativity of the authors in writing this excellent resource. I highly recommend it and give it 5 out of 5 stars.

Out the 88 ideas for Daddy-Daughter activities in this book, 74 were actually realistic and achievable. I usually find these sort of books depressing because the ideas are so over the top, but this one was actually encouraging and helpful. For Christians there is a spiritual discussion attached to each of the date ideas (with some kind of loose link to the activity) which is a great idea in principle, though some of the suggested discussions were a bit of a stretch.

It is an OK book at best. It presents itself as a guide, however a lot of the ideas in the book are simplistic. It focus's more on the religious ideas of what you are doing and how to share them with your daughter. I'm not at all opposed to the religious portion being a christian. However the book sells itself structuring to present opportunities and ideas then, focus's more on the prayer than ideas for the activities itself. It is an OK book at best.
