"The Collapse of Parenting," by Leonard Sax, argues that a shift in parental authority, where children are given more decision-making power and influence, is detrimental to their well-being. This shift, according to Sax, has led to a decline in children's achievement and psychological health, including increased rates of obesity, depression, and anxiety. The book suggests that parents need to reassert their authority and provide clear guidance, structure, and limits to help children thrive.

"Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord". Ephesians 6:4

The bible verse is a direct command to parents, focusing on a method of guidance that prevents discouragement and instead promotes spiritual development.

A "holy moment" is a single moment in which you are united with God by setting aside your own self-interest to act with prayerful intent, creating a moment of profound spiritual connection. These moments can happen anywhere and are not dependent on special circumstances; they can be as simple as being kind to a stranger, listening to someone with full attention, or pausing to pray. The concept, popularized by author Matthew Kelly, suggests that anyone can create holy moments by opening themselves to God's presence and choosing to act in ways that reflect God's love

In "What We Believe," Bishop Robert Barron uses the Nicene Creed to provide a clear, accessible summary of fundamental Christian beliefs for both believers and skeptics. He walks through the creed line by line, explaining its teachings on the Trinity, Jesus Christ's identity and saving mission, the Church, and the world to come, using philosophical and theological insights from scripture and the Catholic intellectual tradition. The book argues that a correct understanding of Jesus' identity is central to the faith, and that reciting the creed is a crucial reminder of these core truths amidst life's challenges.

Slowing Down to the Speed of Joy is a deeply personal book. It provides a rare and intimate look at the author’s own struggles with busy and urgent. By revealing his own vulnerabilities, Kelly provides us with the practical insights and timeless wisdom necessary to banish busy and urgent from our own lives.

The faster you go the more likely you are to crash, but we just keep going faster. We think if we get all the urgent stuff done, we will have time for what’s important. But we never do.

Busy is not your friend. Only a toxic friend leaves you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, discouraged, exhausted, stressed, inadequate and resentful. It’s time to take our lives back from this tyrant.
