Summary: Unrealistic
Comment: Dr. Laura has some interesting ideas on "Abstaining" from sex outside of marriage and keeping children in the dark about it. Her preaching "sounds" good, but her standards of morality are in complete conflict with our biological reality. In Biblical times (and even in our own timespan a hundred years ago), children did not reach puberty until mid to late teens (which generally corresponded with the age they married). Now, with better nutrition and medicine, children generally enter puberty around the age of 12 or 13. We live in a society that encourages education and college, which means that the age of marriage for most people would be early to mid 20's. That means that Dr. Laura is advocating that a person who is sexually mature do absolutely nothing about it for a period of 9 or 10 years! When standards of morality conflict with biological reality, something will eventually "give" and my bet is on the morality.

Summary: a very insightful evangelical perspective on dr. laura
Comment: Tom Allen writes with solid evangelical convictions. He does not endorese Schlessinger on every issue, but is overall, affirming of her prophetic stances. The author has had access to Dr. Laura and his views fairly represent where she is at. This book is a "SHOULD" read.

Summary: This is an evangelical appraisal of dr laura, affirming!
Comment: Dr. Laura has become a prophetess of the air waves and enjoys wide support among evangelicals. This is top-flight reading for Dr. Laura fans, and will even attract those who dislike her. Well-written and well-researched. Author had good access to Dr. Laura and it shows. I bought a copy from Amazon!
