Learn something new - adults

Do not conform to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
                                  - Romans 12:2

It's always a good idea to be reading something worthwhile.  Just 10 minutes a day can do wonders for your perspective, not to mention keeping your brain cells healthy, active and engaged. The books below can be digested slowly, just a few pages at a time, and they are well worth the effort. 

This short book, Work, Play Love, shines a light on the relationship between why we work, why we should play, and how these two traits enable us to love. 

Sabbath gives an in depth look at why we need a balance between work and rest. 

In her wonderful book, Generous Faith, Ursuline sister, Bridget Haase, asks a simple question: Is this all there is to life?  She answers the question with a resounding "Yes - and it is more than enough!"  

Written by Franciscan priest Fr. Albert Haase, this book explores several different ways we can respond to God, to catch the divine fire and live it in our lives. (Fr. Albert is also chaplain of Cedarbrake Retreat Center here in Austin!)

remember something important - we are each unique

The scientifically based idea of multiple intelligences tells us that we are each unique, and that we come to understand God through different paths based on which intelligence is strongest in us. Your child's spirituality may not be the same as yours. These books help parents to understand more about multiple intelligences, discern what theirs is, and shed light on the best ways to help their children come to know God.  To find out more about Multiple Intelligences, click HERE.
