Christmas Presents!

Here's a few things which Santa brought me this year which I thought might be of some interest to Lacrimarum Valle readers:

How to Raise Good Catholic Children
Mary Reed Newland

A thoroughly practical and down-to-earth book written by a Catholic mother. Covering all aspects of bringing up your children to love God and know their Faith, the author tackles even the most delicate issues, such as explaining the facts of life, with a refreshing blend of common sense and humour that all parents will find helpful and reassuring.

Successful Fathers: The Subtle Ways Fathers Mould Their Children's Characters
James B. Stenson

It takes hard work to become a good father, and one of the most formidable obstacles confronting fathers is the difficulty of finding good guidance on fatherhood. This booklet gives men much-needed directions on problems fathers face, and reveals "Twelve Commandments of Successful Fathers": how good fathers raise their children well. Veteran educator James Stenson shows how to defuse adolescent boys' defiance and how to form positive father-daughter relationships. Best of all, he details what fathers must do - and not do - in order to instil religious faith in their children.
