The Church and Abortion - A Catholic Dissent

Summary

This provocative book takes a critical look at what is increasingly viewed as the central political issue for Catholics—abortion. From pro-choice politicians being denied communion to Democrats being called "the party of death," for some of the most vocal Catholic leaders, the abortion issue often trumps all others. The author, a practicing Catholic who is against abortion in principle, believes the Church is on the wrong course with this issue, with grievous results for the Church and American society more broadly. He gives a brief history of abortion legislation, then explores the issue from legal, moral, and Christian perspectives, presenting compelling reasons why Church leaders and Catholics should stop trying to overturn Roe v. Wade and reconsider the issue.

    ANGER MANAGEMENT FOR KIDS 5-8 -...

    We all experience intense emotions like anger at times. Not only is anger normal, but it can serve as a great motivator and a way to improve one’s emotional intelligence. It can encourage self-improvement, instill a sense of self-control, and even trigger our “fight” response which is necessary for survival. At the most basic level, anger can help children determine whether they’re being treated fairly and allows them to tell when things aren’t right. That being said, anger can become a severe problem if it grows out of control and leads to aggressive behaviors. 
    An angry child isn’t a bad one, nor are their attitudes and actions necessarily a result of behavioral problems. These intense emotions are often triggered by psychological, social, or even hormonal problems, which is why parents should try to understand where their children’s anger comes from to handle the situation effectively. In most cases, the root problem is not apparent, which is why parents automatically assume that their children are misbehaving, so they take action accordingly. Grounding or yelling at a child who can’t control their anger isn’t going to fix anything and will likely make things worse.

    Hunting is our heritage, our heart, and our future.
    
    Where does hunting fit in the modern world? To many, it can seem outdated or even cruel, but as On Hunting affirms, hunting is holistic, honest, and continually relevant. Authors Grossman, Miller, and Cunningham dive deep into the ancient past of hunting and examine its position today, demonstrating that we cannot understand humanity without first understanding hunting. Readers will
    
    
    ·       discover how hunting formed us,
    
    
    ·       examine hunting ethics and their adaptation to modernity,
    
    
    ·       understand the challenges, traditions, and reverence of today's hunter,
    
    
    ·       identify hunting skills and their many applications outside the field,
    
    
    ·       learn why hunting is critical to ecological restoration and preservation, and
    
    
    ·       gain inspiration to share hunting with others.
    
    
    Drawing from ecology, philosophy, and anthropology and sprinkled with campfire stories, this wide-ranging examination has rich depths for both nonhunters and hunters alike. On Hunting shows that we need hunting still—and so does the wild earth we inhabit.

    Countless books are designed to help leaders to become better leaders. But most resources neglect the underlying emotional struggles of both emerging and established leaders, who are often isolated and suffering in silence. Leadership professor Nicholas Rowe and counselor Sheila Wise Rowe offer their expertise in helping leaders process painful and traumatic experiences. Trauma contributes to how we lead others in either empowering or dysfunctional ways. Understanding how these experiences formed us is the beginning of the path to healing. 
     
     
     
    Woven throughout each chapter are five themes—invitation, attachment, remembrance, healing, and reconnection. Healing Leadership Trauma lays out the emotional challenges of leadership and offers encouragement, prayer, and therapeutic tools to help leaders face their pain and begin to heal.
