Written exclusively for Christians
Be aware that this book is written specifically and exclusively for Christians. It seems like there is some good advice, but I'm having trouble getting through it being reminded about every 2 minutes that this book is written assuming (even requiring) core beliefs that are not my own. Although the summary mentions only that the advice comes from "solid scientific research", the book first mentions the Bible as a primary source. Being featured so prominently in the book, this fact should have been included in the publisher's summary.

Could be shorter and a bit churchy
As with any work of non-fiction I was hoping that this book would tell me a lot that I would consider beyond common knowledge. Instead it offered a little.
I would have enjoyed this book more if it was made shorter by trimming the elaboration on each point.
I also think books with a strong Christian perspective should be made clear in its description so that non-denominational readers like myself are not caught of-guard and tempted to suspect the author's objectivity.

Not recommended
This book isn't what I was expecting. It has a very Christian focus and constantly quotes from the bible. The seventh secret states that to be a good father you need to indoctrinate your child in Christianity. I put up with it until secret 7, but then I couldn't take any more and turned it off. This book is potentially offensive if you're of a different faith.
