Listening to our children talk negatively about themselves is heart-breaking. As parents, our initial instinct is to reassure them with many examples of their attributes and that these thoughts are not in any way factual.

And that's why Les and Leslie Parrott - in a parenting book like no other - give you a proven plan for cultivating the traits you most want your child to have.

Women today feel a constant pressure to improve themselves and just never feel like they’re “enough.” All too often, they live their daily lives disheartened, disillusioned, and disappointed. That’s because joy doesn’t come from a new self-improvement strategy; it comes from rooting their identity in who God says they are and what he has done on their behalf.

Hadley Freeman knew her grandmother, Sara, lived in France just as Hitler started to gain power, but rarely did anyone in her family talk about it. Long after her grandmother’s death, she found a shoebox tucked in the closet containing photographs of her grandmother with a mysterious stranger, a cryptic telegram from the Red Cross, and a drawing signed by Picasso. This discovery sent Freeman on a decade-long quest to uncover the significance of these keepsakes, taking her from Picasso’s archives in Paris to a secret room in a farmhouse in Auvergne to Long Island to Auschwitz.

DESPRE AUDIOBOOK: „Oh, deci așa se numește sentimentul acela care se ține ca scaiul de tine ani și ani, care te roade pe dinăuntru și îți dă viața peste cap!“ ai putea exclama citind Rușinea.

As home life and work life become increasingly integrated in contemporary life, success (or failure) in either has an undeniable effect on the other. And while the profound events that began the 21st century have intensified the desire to focus on what matters most to us, there is still often a substantial gap between what we say matters most and the way we actually spend our time and money. Our credit-card and checking-account statements may clearly reflect this. But it is possible to keep both areas moving forward in positive ways.

The law of attraction is based on the idea that everything in the universe has a polarity, meaning that everything - from the food you eat to the people you talk to, from the things you say to the things you think - contains either a positive or a negative kind of energy. Notice that being with people who complain or rant a lot tends to make you feel bad, even though you're not exactly experiencing what they're going through - that's the law of attraction working its magic.

Sleep and rest aren't always the natural processes we expect them to be. Dr. Adam Blanning, child-development consultant and holistic physician, suggests that they are learned skills which grow with children alongside physical developmental stages. In this insightful book, he offers practical ways in which parents can support children to use their senses—from taste, smell, and touch through to balance and movement—to self-soothe, sleep, and ultimately build resilience for life.

In our forties, fifties, and beyond, we're wrestling with new questions. Is this it? Did I do what I wanted to do in my life? Who am I now that my kids have moved out? Will my sagging skin eventually hang all the way down to my feet? We feel a little like the world has nudged us aside for the younger crowd. But God still has much in store for us. God doesn't bring us to the middle of our lives so we can park in front of the TV and binge-watch home makeover shows. We are his gift to this world at every age and in every season, and it's time to embrace it like never before.

Loving Courageously illuminates the deficits in our learning about the most difficult things we have to do in life: love and take the best possible care of ourselves; have healthy relationships with others, including good boundaries and effective communication; use these and other skills in romantic partnerships in which we practice collaborative problem solving; and raise emotionally healthy and functional children. That is an overall outline of much of what the book covers.
