Today's parenting is kinder and more child-focused than ever, to the point that many parents struggle to enforce limits.
How do we tell children 'no' in the face of the endless treats and distractions? How do we keep them safe? How do we flex our parental authority to ensure their emotional stability and ours?
Parenting educator Gen Muir knows that when parents lead with an authoritative style that is both firm and loving, everyone wins. Her step-by-step advice will help parents manage screen time, meals, bedtime, chores, playdates, homework and daily routines. Parents will feel more confident, kids will be more settled, and the family home will become a calmer, happier place.
Compassionate, clear-sighted and non-judgemental, Muir shows us how setting limits is one of the greatest gifts we can give our kids.
This lucid and helpful book guides us through the symptoms and causes of stress, emphasising that being stressed is not a sign of 'being weak' but an unavoidable challenge of twenty-first century life. In fact, often the most motivated and successful people experience the highest levels of stress.
Debunking the myth that you have to clear your calendar to feel less stressed, Dr Kate Middleton provides tried-and-tested techniques for handling this challenge effectively. Because handling stress well will help you feel better and achieve more, even if it won't make you super(wo)man.
Written nearly two thousand years ago, the Gospel of John is both a profound Christian text and one of the Bible's most complex and influential works. It uniquely presents Jesus at the creation of the world and includes beloved stories such as the raising of Lazarus, the woman caught in adultery, and the wedding at Cana.
Kim Haines-Eitzen explores John's rich and sometimes troubling legacy, tracing its interpretation from early Christianity through the Crusades and Reformation to contemporary evangelicalism. She examines how the Gospel has shaped Christian thought, literature, film, music, and art, while also being used to justify antisemitic violence.
Revealing both its message of inclusion and its potential for intolerance, this compelling study shows how the Gospel of John has united and divided Christians throughout history.

Description:
Sandra Schneiders' groundbreaking study of Johannine theology, spirituality and narrative artistry is now available to a wider audience. Through a careful analysis of John 20, Schneiders explores the Gospel's central questions: Where is the body of Jesus? Where can believers find Jesus today? And why is a resurrection narrative necessary when, in John, everything is completed at the Cross?
Combining critical exegesis with a thoughtful examination of hermeneutics, Schneiders presents the Johannine Resurrection Narrative as a rich resource for understanding and developing Christian spirituality. Her study highlights theopoetics as a defining characteristic of the Johannine text and demonstrates how the Resurrection Narrative continues to awaken understanding, deepen faith and illuminate the meaning of Christian discipleship for scholars and students of Scripture, theology and spirituality.

Humility isn't merely central to Franciscan spirituality, it is divinely inspired! Humility opens our hearts to the workings of God's grace and illuminates a prayerful path on which we journey.
Using Saint Bonaventure's Christ-centered mysticism as a framework, Franciscan scholar Ilia Delio explores the humble dimensions of the God who captured the heart of Saint Francis, Saint Clare, and other luminaries who adopted their way of life through the centuries.
A must-read for anyone interested in Franciscan theology, Delio invites readers to contemplate God's humility and be transformed by the same divine dimension that set the Franciscan way into motion.
