In Response to my Catholic Answers show
"Raising Rebels."
I am in Phoenix working on our next DVD but I will post recommended Books for Parents early next week. I already have a section for husbands and wives called Books for Lovers and will add a list of Books for Parents this coming week. I do have some audio talks on Raising a Catholic Family here. Stay tuned.
