Industry Reviews
In his earlier books, Dobson, founder of focus on the family, wrote about topics ranging from the parental discipline of children to the relationship between husbands and wives. Here Dobson addresses the problems facing young adults between the ages of 16 and 26. Believing that life's most crucial decisions are often made during this ten-year period, Dobson offers his advice about finding God's will in the choice of a marriage partner, the quest for a profesion, the control of money, and the establishment of self-esteem. Although the book records the voices of young adults through a series of questions and answers, Dobson's tone is often arrogant, his demeanor sexist, and his attitude narrow-minded. Still he has a large and dedicated following who will request this book.
Merullo
Few maps are available for the perilous journey from adolescence to adulthood. James Dobson (When God Doesn't Make Sense; Love Must Be Tough, etc.), founder and president of Focus on the Family, offers both concise counsel and solid reflection about that passage here. Expanding on a popular seven-part video series of the same name, Dobson deals with a range of issues and choices faced by young people between 16 and 26: self-image; freedom and responsibility; financial management; changing relationships with parents; college and career choices; and sexuality. His conservative approach may make some readers uneasy but, punctuated with vivid stories and with engaging question-and-answer sections, Edge offers credible and useful insight into major life choices for young seekers.
