Time-tested strategies to help you strengthen your marriage and raise good kids

Here's the book you need to help shield your family from the effects of our selfish secular culture which destroys families and poisons relationships.

First published in 1962, just before the Sixties devastated our culture and rocked the Church, The Catholic Family Handbook offers ageless Catholic wisdom about marriage and parenting, untainted by the foolishness and wrongheadedness that mars most marriage and family books written since then.

Here the ever-popular Fr. Lawrence Lovasik, author of the bestselling Hidden Power of Kindness and dozens of other books, gives faithful Catholics the essential ingredients of a loving marriage and a stable, happy family — ingredients that are largely forgotten in our turbulent age.

Using Scripture and Church teachings in an easy-to-follow, step-by-step format, Fr. Lovasik explains the roles of the Catholic father and mother, and the blessings of a large family. He shows how you can secure happiness in marriage, develop the virtues necessary for a good marriage, raise children in a truly Catholic way, and much more.

Unlike most modern guides for parents, The Catholic Family Handbook details simple but often overlooked ways you can instill good character in your children, protect them from the many sinful and dangerous enticements of the world, and make child-rearing truly spiritual.

Fr. Lovasik even explains how to teach your children the all-but vanished art of good manners, and gives you common-sense tips on how to deal with misbehavior, use punishment prudently, and even discipline teenagers wisely and effectively.

The Catholic Family Handbook: it will make your family happier . . . and holier!

“A rich resource of timeless truths to strengthen marriages and families. Fr. Lovasik recognizes the challenges
we face and offers excellent practical wisdom to help us meet those challenges. Highly recommended.”
