Common wisdom portrays sex and church to be at odds, yet studies
show that Catholics have better sex, and more often. This witty,
frank, and refreshingly orthodox book draws from the beautiful
truths of Catholic teaching to show people of all faiths about rich
and satisfying sexuality. Hailed by Christians across the spectrum
from Christopher West and Janet E. Smith to John L. Allen, Jr.,
Holy Sex! includes dozens of questionnaires, quizzes, and valuable
lessons from real-life stories.
Nationally syndicated radio hosts and international family life
speakers Greg and Lisa Popcak combine decades of counseling, the
latest findings in marriage research, twenty-three years of
marriage, and the wisdom of Catholic teaching to offer newlyweds a
master plan for creating a strong bond in the first five years of
marriage.
A Christian approach to lessening stress and managing it more
effectively is delivered with good humor and compassion in this
supportive guide. Distilling years of counseling experience and a
wealth of stress management training, it offers easily understood
and implemented techniques that will work wonders for Catholics and
other Christians who struggle with tension and frustration in their
daily lives. Methods for using the sacraments, prayer, scripture,
and medallions or icons to center the mind and focus intention are
offered to those seeking relief from anxiety and despair--whether
due to the many little stressors of daily life or more extreme
tests of faith. Checklists, quizzes, and questionnaires serve as
reality checks and reminders of God's love and point the way to
putting things in perspective.
Dispensing candid, practical, and ever-faithful advice, this fully
revised and updated resource provides individuals and families with
clear tips and strategies for finding God's direction when life
takes unforeseen turns. With his familiar, assured voice, acclaimed
counselor Dr. Gregory Popcak shares the real-life accounts of
Christians who endured devastating financial, emotional, and
professional setbacks in framing his F.A.I.T.H.-based, systematic
plan for surviving hard times and returning to the light. With
quizzes, directed reflection, and inspiring case studies,
Christians and faith-seekers alike will learn how
F.A.I.T.H.--Following the rules for healthy discernment, Acting
even when in doubt, Investigating the causes of anxiety, Taking
others into account, and Holding on through adversity--is the means
toward hearing God's voice once again.
Generous helpings of humor and abundant practical advice make this
Christian spirituality book a useful tool for dealing with
difficult relationships. Old enemies, unreasonable employers, petty
neighbors, wayward children, or an inattentive spouse can sabotage
even the most devout Christian and lead to unhealthy emotions and
destructive behavior. Laying out the components of the P-E-A-C-E
process, this handbook presents strategies for understanding the
causes of problem behavior--in others or in oneself--taking
corrective action, and options if those strategies fail. Questions
such as "How can I respectfully and lovingly bring about changes in
my life and in relationships? How do I cope with people who will
not change their self-destructive ways no matter how hard I try to
help them? "and "Is it ever acceptable to sever ties with a friend
or family member?" are examined and addressed in this sympathetic,
results-oriented guide to keeping faith in everyday life.
In the first book to uniquely focus on the Beatitudes and
fatherhood, Popcak helps you stop focusing on yourself and instead
focus on God, learning how to be the father God wants you to be by
becoming a servant leader in your home. As a father of three
children, Popcak realized that Jesus' call to be humble in the
first Beatitude-Blessed are the poor in spirit-stands in direct
opposition to what modern men learn growing up. Instead, they are
taught they should live a life of unbroken success, defined by
promotions at work and beautiful wives and honor students at home.
Popcak shows that when you practice meekness, you will connect with
your family by asking questions and listening closely to their
responses. By practicing mercy, you come to know your own sins, the
difficulties that lie on the path to sainthood, and how your family
needs to hear about God's grace in their lives. In BeDADitudes, you
discover the profound love of God found in the Beatitudes and
understand how that love can transform you into being an awesome
dad.
