THE OVERSCHEDULED CHILD
ALVIN ROSENFELD & NICOLE WISE
Parenting today has come to resemble a relentless to-do list. Lists and schedules, meetings and appointments invade our every moment and the need to be the best dominates--and undermines--our own sense of self as well as our children's. In The Overscheduled Child, renowed child psychiatrist Alvin Rosenfeld, M.D., and longtime family-issues journalist Nicole Wise combine personal and professional experience to take action against what they see as our overeager pursuit of perfection. The clear, comforting steps they prescribe to attack this rampant phenomenon will promote healthier and happier children and revitalize the parenting experience.

For Dads
PLAY THE MAN
MARK BATTERSON
Somewhere along the way, our culture lost its definition of manhood, leaving generations of men and men-to-be confused about their roles, responsibilities, relationships, and the reason God made them men. It's into this "no man's land" that New York Times bestselling author Mark Batterson declares his mantra for manhood: Play The Man.
Technology
THE TECH-WISE FAMILY
ANDY CROUCH
Making conscientious choices about technology in our families is more than just using internet filters and determining screen time limits for our children. It's about developing wisdom, character, and courage in the way we use digital media rather than accepting technology's promises of ease, instant gratification, and the world's knowledge at our fingertips. Drawing on in-depth original research from the Barna Group, Andy Crouch shows readers that the choices we make about technology have consequences we may never have considered. Anyone who has felt their family relationships suffer or their time slip away amid technology's distractions will find in The Tech-Wise Family a path forward to reclaiming their real life in a world of devices.
