Hope is not prognostication. It is an orientation of the spirit, an orientation of the heart; it transcends the world that is immediately experienced, and is anchored somewhere beyond its horizons.

Audiobooks allow me to cram more books into my busy life and allow me to reduce the drudgery of laundry, kitchen prep, dishes and long drives

Be warned, there's some fairly disturbing content that's hard to read at times, but I think it also is helpful in that it's really getting into some of our worst fears about raising boys. I appreciate how honest and introspective the author is, examine her beliefs from different angles.

Coddling looks more at education/ college campuses, a continuation of some of the stuff from "How to Raise an Adult", especially valuable for teachers. This one's targeted a bit more to parents and those with pre-teens/ teens

Looks like a good stack, I've read a bunch of those. This is my current Audible, not done yet, but already I highly recommend it

I thought these were both excellent, I also highly recommend "The Kingdom, The Power and The Glory" by Tim Alberta
