You’d find a quiet corner, light a candle, and take your time with God. Now, as a mom, life looks a little different. Your prayers might sound more like “Lord, please just get me through dinner!” Between carpools, snack requests, temper tantrums, nonstop Nerf battles—the list goes on!—finding time for intentional prayer feels impossible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Sacred Chaos, Ablaze Families missionary Jennifer Stavinoha invites you to rediscover intimacy with God right where you are—even if you’re sleep deprived, in the midst of potty training, or feeling overwhelmed by work and childcare demands. “Now that I’m living my vocation as a wife and mother, prayer has become less ethereal and far more physical,” she writes. “The Lord is here in the laughter of my children, in the car line, in the kitchen chaos. He’s ever present, inviting me to pause and breathe him in.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis restorative mini-retreat is designed for moms in the trenches of family life and requires just five minutes a day. It’s not just another devotional with prewritten prayers—it’s a practical guide to help you rediscover how to connect with God, renew your spirit, and find peace in the midst of your beautiful, messy reality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere’s how the retreat unfolds:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeek 1: Desire—Awaken your longing to be seen, known, and deeply loved by God just as you are.\u003cbr\u003eWeek 2: Encounter—Reconnect with God in the chaos through a simple, adaptable approach to prayer.\u003cbr\u003eWeek 3: Joy—Offer your heart to God and experience his mercy, his love, and the joy he longs to pour into your life.\u003cbr\u003eEach week includes a QR code linking to daily playlists and a short, encouraging video that makes it easy to fit prayer into your busiest moments—whether you’re folding laundry or wrangling a toddler into bed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGod is with you in every moment of motherhood. He’s ready to bring peace to your heart and joy to your days—even now in the mess. It’s time to reclaim your connection with him and discover the beauty of encountering God in the life you’re already living.",

Teens are “full of life, enthusiasm, energy, and laughter,” Dr. Ray asserts, in defiance of a culture that conditions us to expect a far gloomier reality. Too often, the world tells parents to be content with mediocrity instead of the prospect of raising respectful and responsible children with strong character.\u003cbr\u003eIn a lively question-and-answer format, Dr. Ray unpacks issues ranging from sibling relationships and peer pressure to curfews and chores to overcoming backtalk and teaching your kids to avoid drugs. He equips parents to give their teens a safer, more stable adolescence and help them develop virtues for a lifetime. If you feel as if you’ve been a weak disciplinarian, Dr. Ray explains that “there are . . . critical reasons to reverse your parenting, even if it seems late.” He offers practical approaches such as:\u003cbr\u003e• Four tips to help you enjoy your kids’ teen years\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• Three techniques for becoming a calmer parent\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• Five ways to monitor your child’s use of technology\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• Four simple house rules that lead to success\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• Four consequences to curb nasty talk\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• A strategy to motivate underachievers\u003cbr\u003eYou will also learn four key sayings for communicating more effectively with your teens. In addition, you will find out specific ways to cultivate an attitude of gratitude in your kids. Most significantly, you will learn how to help your children treat you with respect, so that they will develop this habit in their relationships with others as well. As you grow in becoming a stronger parent with calm, loving resolve, you will learn how to foster quality time with your teens and have real fun together.\u003cbr\u003eThis book is wise, perceptive, and laugh-out-loud funny. Dr. Ray uses his trademark humor-with-a-dash-of-sarcasm to give those parents who are barely treading water some good, sound, logical advice to change the tone and tenor of their households for the better.",

"description":"\u003cb\u003eTalking with you Teen about Sex\u003cbr\u003eA Practical Guide For Catholics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAre you looking for the right words—and a boost of confidence—to build trust, reduce shame, and have an ongoing and compassionate conversation with your teen about sex, one that also reinforces Catholic values?\u003cbr\u003eIn Talking with Your Teen About Sex, clinical psychologist Julia Sadusky answers most commonly asked questions and offers practical advice on addressing puberty, dating, intimacy, technology, pornography, and other experiences your child may navigate in their teen years and beyond.\u003cbr\u003eLet’s face it: if you don’t proactively talk with your kids about sexuality-related experiences before puberty, they will likely learn from their friends, social media, or other sources that might not share your Christian values.\u003cbr\u003eIntentionally setting aside time and focus to discuss these critical facets of human sexuality will become some of the most important minutes of your life as a parent. As you listen to what your teen knows and thinks about critical and hot-button topics and discover what you love most about their curiosities and individuality, you will both foster a deeper connection as you explore their belovedness as children of God.\u003cbr\u003eInformed by the latest clinical research and drawing on the same guiding principles as Sadusky’s first book, Start Talking to Your Kids about Sex—which focuses on elementary-age children—Talking with Your Teen about Sex helps equip parents to be primary educators as teens move through adolescence. Guided by Catholic teaching, this book, intended for ages ten and up, goes beyond the typical “sex talk.” It will equip you to confidently communicate with your child about topics such as bodily changes, physical boundaries, sexual ethics, and masturbation with greater comfort. You’ll find concrete advice and ready-to-go conversation starters for your biggest questions, including\u003cbr\u003e• Why am I having such a hard time starting the conversation?\u003cbr\u003e• What is happening to my child’s body?\u003cbr\u003e• How do I actually have the sex talk?\u003cbr\u003e• How do I respond to crushes and dating?\u003cbr\u003e• What if they tell me something bad happened to them?\u003cbr\u003eSadusky gives specific attention to the ways in which boys and girls experience puberty and sexuality differently. The sexual and pubescent development of each sex is addressed individually throughout the book, and in some cases, separate chapters are designated for discussions with boys and others for discussions with girls.\u003cbr\u003eFinally, Sadusky will challenge you in ways that might feel uncomfortable at times. She also will encourage you to consider your own ideas about sex and to reflect on areas of shame you may carry.\u003cbr\u003eThis book is for any Catholic parent and other adults entrusted with the formation of preteens and teens.",
