Suzie Andres explores the basic premise of the household as the primary place of education and the role of parents as primary educators. Her book is engaging and helpful regardless of the method of education selected by parents—homeschooling, unschooling, or even public and private schooling.

What They Are Saying:

“Andres’s wise and witty little book is, as billed, a gentle approach to homeschooling. Any reader who comes to this subject with fears will have them quickly allayed.”— Ralph McInerny

This book provides a guide for prayer and a meditation on the mystical truths about God and man and the social and political ramifications of the Incarnation. Unlike the outdated social justice writers of previous decades, Bozell and Miles-Campos suggest a concrete plan for advancing works of mercy to relieve the suffering of the poor, to uplift the spiritually malnourished, and to form a more vibrant Christian community in the midst of a secular world. This text is presented in both English and Spanish.

Is Catholicism purely an interior set of convictions? In this provocative study, Storck suggests that a specifically Catholic culture can arise within a secular and pluralistic society. That culture will both challenge and nourish the surrounding society only if Christian truth is incarnated in the manners, customs, and traditions of the community.

Noted Italian theologian and philosopher Pancheri revisits a crucial question of the Middle Ages and shows its perennial importance for Christian society: If the Incarnation is, in some sense, caused by the Fall of Adam and Eve, then how can Christ be said to have primacy in all things? The discussion amongst scholastic philosophers continues to have broad implications for the Christian understanding of free will (and predestination), the relationship between creation and Creator, and the final things towards which all creation moves.

Where do we find the core of life’s meaning?  Right on the job!  At whatever work we do — with head or hand, from kitchen to executive suite, from your house to the White House.  “Work is the great equalizer — everyone has to come to it in order to find meaning in living: no short cuts, no detours, no bargain rates.”
