THE 5 LOVE LANGUAGES OF CHILDREN

It´s a very interesting book. Most children know they´re loved by their parents, but not all of them feel that love. This book will teach you how to discover your child´s primary love language (there are 5) and enable you to fill his “emotional tank” in a way he will genuinely feel loved

1-2-3 MAGIC

My mother used this 1-2-3 counting when I was a child and perfectly worked for us. So I also use it with my children, but I didn´t know, until I read this book, how and why it worked. The techniques are well explained and easy to practice. What I liked the most is the “no talk, no emotion” posture. It´s good not only to stop bad behavior but also to stimulate your children to cooperate in the daily routine. It´s worth reading.

THE RIVER OF GRACE

This book offers many creative ways to deal with loss and grief and also leads you in a journey of self-knowledge. Susan opened her heart and shared stories of her life. Truly inspired by the Holy Spirit she helps you to let the River of Grace that comes straight from the heart of God immerse you into His love

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.
