Dr. James Dobson will retire from hosting Focus on the Family's radio show in February. You can listen to his announcement here (the show dated 11/2).

Best wishes and thanks to him for all he's done for Christian families over the years (including my family). He has been a polarizing figure in many ways . . . but then, as one commenter at CT pointed out, aren't Christians supposed to be? He has also -- I know from experience -- been a geniunely kind and sincere human being, and I'm sure he will continue to be so.

    Praise God for Dr. Dobson and his wife. They are people of unquestionable character and deserve a blessed retirement. I doubt that he will truly "retire" but he has earned the break. I can only hope and pray that a man with just as strong convictions and christian character will step in to take his place. Thank you for all of your years of service to further Gods kingdom. In his blessed name, Lori

    "there's a sort of giant opportunity for FOTF to reverse their dwindling-budget dwindling-influence trend of recent years," Isn't it kind of vulgar to suggest that your opponents should give higher priority to power then principle? Surely you would not suggest that for any you agree with.

    A friend recently commmented to me that with the first voter approved practically-homosexual-marriage legislation in the country recently passing here in Washington State (pausing for a moment of hometown pride), and with Dobson stepping down, there's a sort of giant opportunity for FOTF to reverse their dwindling-budget dwindling-influence trend of recent years, with new leadership and a real wake up call for the militant anti-homosexual rights folks.

    I agree, Gina and Debra! I thank God for Dr. Dobson and his books on child-rearing. I'm not sure I would have survived parenthood without the wise guidance he offered in "The Strong-Willed Child."
