THE LISTENING LIFE

I know I´m a person that talks too much. So I thought this book could help me listen better and listen more to people. But it´s SO MUCH MORE than that. It showed me a new perspective of the listening experience: how to listen not only to people, but specially how to listen to God in our loud world. “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening” (1Sam 3:9)

8 GREAT SMARTS

I was aware that each one of us have different talents and we should develop them the best we can. But I never thought that they were different types of intelligence, or “smarts” as the Author calls them. This book was really helpful to understand and identify the different types of intelligence we all have, the ones that are stronger and the ones we can improve. It also shows how we can interact and teach our children these smarts, which are the types of career linked to each smart and for me, the most interesting part was to know how is the best way that each smart can relate to God and serve others.

THE FOUR KEYS TO EVERLASTING LOVE

It is a great book! It refers to some of the most important marital issues, such as sex, parenting, unity, prayer, extended family, money, faith, service. All topics provides a real life example, so it´s very easy to understand the Authors message and point of view. Very well grounded in the Church´s teachings and the reflections questions help us to realize where we are in the subject discussed. Every family willing to improve the quality of their life should try this book!

KEEP YOUR KIDS CATHOLIC

Every family will profit from this book. It doesn´t matter if you are a beginner in the Catholic Faith path or if you are far ahead and have a strong faith life. I consider being in this last category and started reading this book out of curiosity, not really thinking I could do more about passing the faith out to my kids. Then, I was surprised to see how much more I could do! I am equally amazed how Marc Cardaronella was able to talk about deep concepts in such a simple and easy way to understand. Everything he suggests has a solid reason and he had tested them all in his own family life.

REDEEMING CONFLICT

As a lawyer, I was very successful in winning arguments for my clients. Now working as a full time mother, I get very frustrated not being able to solve even small conflicts among my children. So I could really relate to this book. Even if it´s apparently written to solve big conflicts, you can use all its principles and tips to redeem every day conflicts. In each chapter, the author provides a real life testimonial of people who can be an example in achieving the specific skill described in that chapter. The most important thing I´ve learned from it is that “redeeming conflict is not about fixing the conflict, but managing it in such a way that we rob it of the power to divide and fragment while heightening its power to educate and illumine.” Great book.

REMEMBERING GOD´S MERCY

This book takes you into a journey of spiritual healing: the healing of your memories. The teaching and history of Pope Francis leads the way where you are invited to surrender yourself to our Heavenly Father and dive into His mercy. They are not only abstracts ideas, but Dawn Eden, using many times her own life stories, provides many practical ways you can use this precious information.
