Over the past 20 years, Matthew Kelly has seen more of the world than most presidents and more of the Church than most bishops. Now, in this unique and timely book, he proposes that Catholicism is not a lifeless set of rules and regulations, but a way of life designed by God to help each person reach his or her full potential. With remarkable insight, Kelly dispels dozens of myths that surround the rejection of Catholicism today and provides a profound and practical vision of what will lead the Catholic Church to thrive again in the future.

Over the past hundred years, scholars have attacked the historical truth of the Gospels and argued that they were originally anonymous and filled with contradictions. In The Case for Jesus, Brant Pitre taps in to the wells of Christian scripture, history, and tradition to ask and answer a number of different questions, including: If we don't know who wrote the Gospels, how can we trust them? How are the four Gospels different from other Gospels, such as the lost Gospel of "Q" and the Gospel of Thomas?

Fr. Robert Barron's comprehensive work goes straight to the core of the Catholic faith. He first examines the foundations of Christ's incarnation, life and ministry, and then works through the essentials of the Catholic tradition: from sacraments, worship and prayer, to Mary and the saints, and on to salvation, heaven and hell. Throughout this epic journey, Fr. Barron uses art, literature, personal stories, Scripture, theology, philosophy and history to present a complete picture of the Church to the world.

Awesome!
I bought this when feeling the mommy guilt pile on after reading some nonsense article about "time out" being bad for your kids' brains. This was the perfect anecdote. Dr. Ray brilliantly advises how to lovingly raise children of character. Just wish that I had a copy in print as well. I know I will want to return to this as my daughter grows.

Solid, common sense for parents
Dr. Ray is so on point. I discovered him from EWTN Catholic radio, and from there, I found his books. He is a Father of NINE himself, and he’s the real deal.
I have read and listened to so much conflicting parental advice in the last few years when dealing with my two 4 year-old twins...it’s really been a minefield. I can’t tell you how many children “psychologist” websites I have wept over because I thought, “ oh no ...I’ve done the wrong thing with my kid here... and here...and here ..” I would drive myself nuts with guilt at the thought that I wasn’t doing the exact “perfect” parental thing in each and every situation in dealing with disciplining my children. It’s so refreshing to hear Dr. Ray REMIND me of what I already instinctively know...That I have WAY more common sense in dealing with my kids than I think I do ( and that I should stop second-guessing myself in every little move I make in dealing with them.) He reminds me that no one is better equipped to handle my children than I am , since I know and love them best. It’s really just as simple as that. Don’t let the so called “experts” (many of whom don’t even have children of their own) make you feel inadequate as a parent and disciplinarian or make you feel as if you’re doing something wrong by imposing compassionate yet sometimes firm guidelines for behavior within your household. If you’ve been having problems with your kids acting up like I was, then this book will help. It taught me that sometimes you need to look inward as to how you’ve been handling them and the problem behaviors they are exhibiting. Sometimes we as parents are just simply yelling or talking too much to them about bad behavior And why it’s unacceptable to us, but we are not really imposing any disciplinary action as consequence to the bad behavior -and that is what is really key in rectifying it. See? We just forget common sense. This book was a very easy and wonderful listen... in fact, I’m actually going to go back and listen again, chapter by chapter, this time with a notepad and pen in hand to jot down all the great ideas that Dr. Ray gives for every specific type of “bad behavior” type of situation you can imagine! He has even given me confidence in myself in how I will plan to deal with my twins as they become (gulp) teenagers!
Highly recommended.

Exactly what I had been praying for!
I had been struggling and didn't feel like I was making much headway with my son. This book totally turned it around. I was more at peace while disciplining and now he is too. Thanks be to God for this phenomenal book. I will definitely recommend to every parent I get a chance to share it with.
