Caregivers are loving, generous, and courageous, and it is important that caregivers also take time to rest their own bodies, renew their minds, and nurture their spirits. 
In Times of Caregiving offers caregivers a simple way to pray, a way to reconnect with God`s love and presence. Each chapter focuses on issues and emotions that trouble caregivers: fatigue, fear, uncertainty, loneliness, gratefulness, anger, crises, the need to see Christ, guilt, praying for others. 
Whether you are caregiver or want to share the gift and power of prayer with one who is caring for another, In Times of Caregiving offers a restorative blend of scriptural, classic, and contemporary prayers and reflections.

People around the world who become sentimental recalling the rolling, green hills of Ireland, will want to glimpse the unique perspective of the Emerald Isle in Cyril and Renee Reilly's An Irish Blessing, a photographic interpretation illuminating the classic Irish Blessing. Full-color photographs adorn each phrase of this treasure of Irish wisdom, lovingly decorating its pages with breathtaking images of the country and its people. 
Moved by the phrasing of the Irish Blessing at a Catholic Mass, Renee Reilly, a former art professor at Mount Mercy College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, immediately imagined a book illustrating the blessings of rain, light, and earth. 
Cyril Reilly, a former English professor at Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa, took every photograph in a poetic tradition, capturing the raw, powerful beauty of the coast and the lush landscape of the countryside as a visual accompaniment to the famous phrases. 
Both third-generation Irish-Americans, the Reillys have long felt a kinship with the Irish sense of humor, love of elaborate yarns, and good "craic" (fun). They photographed An Irish Blessing in villages where their whims carried them, experiencing the culture up-close, encountering everyone from a 90-year-old Irish-speaking grandmother to a young boy tending sheep. 
A warmly photographed gift book for any occasion, An Irish Blessing gleams like a gem in the eyes of anyone who feels a connection to the Emerald Isle.

God hunger: Discovering the mystic in all of us

Bestselling author John Kirvan understands the spiritual hunger of people forced to survive on scraps of childhood religion and greeting-card wisdom. He understands because he was hungry. His friends were hungry. Instead of starving to death, however, Kirvan created a spiritual feast in God Hunger, sharing what the great mystics sought and found-- a direct, love-driven way of knowing God. 
Kirvan explores the lives and writings of ten great spiritual teachers from the 4th century to today, going far beyond the ephemeral religious fashions that flit in and out of modern popular culture, explaining the techniques they used to hear the movements of God within. With 50 meditations and prayers, God Hunger builds on the words and wisdom of the mystics-- from Gregory of Nyssa to Thomas Merton, and Kabbalah to C.S. Lewis-- sending us on our own personal quest toward God. 
Prepare to be shocked. Prepare for spiritual risks. Even the most seasoned spiritual traveler will be surprised when and where they discover God. Kirvan emphasizes, however, that the journey has no bargain rates or shortcuts. Faith is a lifelong commitment, not a passing fad, an emotional pilgrimage that requires inspired devotion in an era when we have been offered so much and often settle for so little. 
Combining the best of Christian, Jewish and Islamic traditions, God Hunger keeps us honest, humble, focused on the search and joyful in the discovery of a nourishing spiritual life.

Patt and Steve Saso navigated all the parenting perils from infancy to preteen insecurity, but nothing could prepare them for the unpredictably of adolescence. One day their teenager might say, "I love you," after the morning ride to school, and the next he might sit in the back seat, sulking in silence. In 10 Best Gifts For Your Teen, the Sasos offer valuable advice to help families maintain strong relationships through the often turbulent teenage years. Combining Patt's expertise as a marriage and family therapist with Steve's experience as a high school educator, the Sasos share personal and professional anecdotes in this dispatch from the parenting trenches, detailing what adolescents want and need from their parents for emotional support.

Tired of Arguing With Your Kids: Wisdom from Parents Who Have Been There

Curran, Dolores

Relationships

Childhood may be changing, but todays cable-ready, all-too-worldly kids are still just kids and should be treated that way. William J. Doherty does not want to recreate childhood as it was in simpler times, he merely wants to help parents adapt to the changes and create an even better future. Dohertys new book, Take Back Your Kids, offers a blueprint to do just that. 
Too often, Doherty believes, parents merely provide services and opportunities for children, who in turn consider themselves "consumers of parental services." Hierarchy has diminished. Parents regularly make sacrifices in time and money they perceive to benefit their children. Take Back Your Kids shows occasionally saying no to a childs wish, denying a costly and time-consuming opportunity, allows for more meaningful family moments together at meals, church services and volunteer activities. 
Take Back Your Kids gives parents a clear picture of what they should expect from themselves and their children. Doherty describes the skills necessary to be a confident parent--the importance of firm boundaries on behavior, an understanding of when to be flexible, and the courage to express constructive anger and endure the consequences. A good parent may be unpopular from time to time, but children respect and appreciate the exercise of authority in the context of loving family relationships. 
Doherty concedes that maintaining those relationships may be difficult amid modern media distractions and fractured families. Take Back Your Kids describes how to monitor media exposure in a culture of constant television and Internet-literate eight-year-olds. He explains why responsible fatherhood may be the most untapped resource in raising children. And he offers advice for co-parents, single parents and step-parents alike to transcend their individual situations and discover the path to loving, respectful and productive relationships with their children.
