QUOTE: "By learning to yield to the loving
authority... of his parents, a child learns to submit to other forms of
authority which will confront him later in his life — his teachers, school
principal, police, neighbors and employers." [From Dare

AUTHOR: James
Dobson A.K.A James Clayton
"Jim" Dobson, Jr. (born April 21, 1936) is an American
evangelical Christian author, psychologist, and founder in 1977 of Focus on the
Family (FOTF), which he led until 2003. In the 1980s he was ranked as one of
the most influential spokesmen for conservative social positions in American
public life. Although never an ordained minister, he was called "the nation's
most influential evangelical leader" by Time while Slate
portrayed him as a successor to evangelical leaders Billy Graham, Jerry
Falwell, and Pat Robertson. He is no longer affiliated with Focus on the
Family. Dobson founded Family Talk as a non-profit organization in 2010 and
launched a new radio broadcast, "Family Talk with Dr. James Dobson",
that began May 3, 2010 on over 300 stations nationwide. As part of his former
role in the organization,
he produced Focus on the Family, a daily radio program which according
to the organization was broadcast in more than a dozen languages and on over
7,000 stations worldwide, and reportedly heard daily by more than 220 million
people in 164 countries. Focus on the Family was also carried by about
sixty U.S. television stations daily.
He founded the Family Research Council in 1981.
