Greg Reid shares lessons learned as a cowboy/stockman, radio announcer, and writer in Queensland, Australia, in this memoir.

There is a parenting revolution afoot, and children are leading the charge. Traditional parenting is undergoing a dramatic revision and antiquated notions borne of the old psychology will no longer suffice. In The Revolutionary Who's Raising You, author and clinical psychologist Deidre Steadman combines psychological savvy, storytelling, metaphor, and humor to weave together an evocative vision for empowered parenting. This guide tackles the many misconceptions upon which the old psychology is built. Notions about good parenting and good children, bad parenting and bad children have been constructed on these shaky foundations. Steadman dispels the parent-bynumbers myth and helps parents reawaken to their instinctive confidence, their natural clarity, and their innate joy. Filled with examples and actionable advice, The Revolutionary Who's Raising You seeks to inspire parents, educators, and mental health workers to raise self-confident, resilient, happy children. Above all, this book awakens parents to the spiritual savvy and psychological mastery of their child.

St. Raphael Kalinowski was one of the first people to recognize the value and significance of the message of St. Thérèse of Lisieux. This was in the very early days when even some Carmelite prioresses had failed to grasp the importance of Thérèse for the modern era in the church. He wrote: "Armed with the sign of the Cross I open the book (Story of a Soul) and find the place where the fire in her heart unites with the burning heart of Jesus in Vivre d'Amour.(To Live by Love).Suddenly the storm dies down, calm returns and something indescribable floods my whole being and changes me completely. This poem became an ark of salvation for me. The dear sister gave me confidence. I therefore conclude that the promise: I will spend my heaven in doing good on earth…After my death I will send down a shower of roses, is literally fulfilled." St. Raphael was also greatly influenced by the example of famous pianist Hermann Cohen who became a Carmelite priest and founded Carmelite communities in France and England. He arranged for a translation of Story of a Soul and a Life of Hermann Cohen to be translated into Polish. We hope this volume, appearing as it does, soon after a year recalling the Fifth Centenary of St. Teresa of Avila, will make St. Raphael better known and loved in the English speaking world and inspire people to value her charism and dedicate themselves to Christ and his Church at the present time. "Fr Timothy (Tierney) knows how to combine in his work a rich, detailed and interesting collection of biographical material, probably unknown to many, with a penetrating analysis of the spiritual life of Fr. Raphael Kalinowski." (Fr. Saverio Cannistrà, O.C.D, Superior General of the Discalced Carmelites).

TRES FORMAS DE AMAR es un poemario basado en tres formas de expresar amor que son: el AGAPE, que es el amor que proviene de lo divino, el FRATERNO, que es el amor entre hermanos;(dado el caso de que todos hemos sido creados por nuestro Padre Dios, por ende considero que todos somos hermanos) y el EROS, que es el amor sensual. Además de poemas, el libro contiene unos ensayos que introducen cada sección de los poemas, y al final incluyo unos apéndices con una información que fortalece lo ya expresado en ellos. Los poemas relacionados con el ÁGAPE están basados en lo que va al espíritu, los cuales expresan el amor hacia Dios. Con ellos lo alabo y le doy gracias por haberme amado a mí primero. Los basados en el FRATERNO van dirigidos hacia el desarrollo de una mejor comprensión de unos a los otros, lo cual redundará en armonía y paz. Y no pude restarle importancia al EROS, que es ese amor que nos lleva al disfrute de las relaciones entre parejas. Considero esta obra como un recurso, ya que está dirigida al mejoramiento de nuestras relaciones sociales sin importar raza, color, credo, ideas políticas, o cualquier otra descripción habida o por haber. Y cierro con estas palabras: Cuando confrontaron a Jesús de Nazaret con la pregunta de cual era el mayor mandamiento, Él dijo: Amarás al Señor tu Dios sobre todas las cosas, y a tu prójimo como a ti mismo. Creo enfáticamente que si despertamos el ÁGAPE que es el amor de Dios en nosotros, viviremos todas las otras formas de amar al máximo.
