Here is a one-of-a-kind parenting book that began in a church but not belongs on the nightstand or bookshelf of anyone who is raising children in this difficult world. Over a period of several years, parents at Blessed Sacrament parish in Washington, DC, were invited to speak at Sunday liturgy on Mother's and Father's Day. This book culls the very best of these presentations into a memorable volume filled with the practical wisdom of parents 'in the trenches.' Through the intimate personal stories of the contributors, whose children range in age from infants to adults, we are privy to the extraordinary gift that is parenthood--the hopes, aspiration, regrets, hard-won knowledge, joy, and pain. And it all rings true, coming, as it does, from the true experts in the field--those who are doing it every day.
