Dave Willis, autor, conferencista y padre de cuatro, aborda cómo criar niños campeones, alentadores y respetuosos con las mujeres. En el contexto de #MeToo y #ChurchToo, es crucial reflexionar sobre nuestras fallas y cómo educar a hombres que rompan el ciclo de comportamiento inadecuado. Willis, tras investigar este tema, concluye que para criar niños que realmente respeten a las niñas, debemos mirar hacia nuestros propios corazones. En su obra, ayuda a los lectores a identificar los puntos ciegos que llevan a la falta de respeto, enseñando cómo resolver estos problemas internos antes de que se transmitan a los niños. Además, promueve el cultivo de un respeto saludable hacia Dios y hacia uno mismo, así como hacia los demás. Con un enfoque basado en las Escrituras, investigación y herramientas específicas, el libro ofrece estrategias prácticas para que los padres incorporen principios correctos en sus vidas y los enseñen a sus hijos.
