    Episode 235: Dr. Ray Guarendi on his book Drama-Free Discipline (December 17, 2025)

    In this episode of The Catholic Bookworm, Kiki Latimer interviews Dr. Ray Guarendi on his book Drama-Free Discipline: Dr. Ray Coaches You to Parenting Success.

    Parenting can wear you down — but it doesn’t have to. Popular media personality Dr. Ray Guarendi, father of ten and experienced clinical psychologist, applies his trademark humor, common sense, and no-nonsense wisdom to the task of helping parents cut through the cultural confusion and reclaim their rightful roles as calm, confident leaders in the home.

    With practical strategies tested in the cauldron of real day-to-day family life, Dr. Ray shows you how to stop overtalking, avoid endless frustration, and dial down discipline through more effective communication. No psychobabble. No gimmicks. Just clear communication and other proven methods that work with kids of every age, from toddlers to teens.

    Inside, you’ll discover how to:

    Diffuse sibling rivalries and settle incessant bickering
    Use “blackout” discipline to calmly establish authority
    Build bedtime routines that bring peace and actually stick
    Replace “countdowns” with more effective tools for obedience
    Teach honesty as a habit and safeguard your child’s integrity
    Decide wisely when to allow smartphones, driving, and other privileges

    You’ll also receive Dr. Ray’s playbook for handling real-life situations, from family car trips to school-morning routines, snitching to technology use, parenting disagreements to disrespect from a child. He even provides ready-to-use scripts for talking to your kids with clarity and authority so you can argue less, laugh more, and raise children who know what respect looks like and who love you, their siblings, and themselves.

    This isn’t theory. It is battle-tested wisdom from a father who’s lived it and a psychologist who has counseled families for decades. With Dr. Ray’s help, you’ll become the parent your kids need: steady, clear-sighted, and ready to shape them into the strong, respectful adults they are meant to be.

    HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT THE WORLD IS MORE CONNECTED BUT LESS HUMAN THAN EVER BEFORE?

    Technology connects the entire world but people are more lonely than ever before, while artificial intelligence threatens to replace human intellect and reason.

    But the human person needs authentic connection and freedom.

    Western civilization teeters on the verge of losing its freedom to AI. Tolkien saw it coming. He gave us the key. Now all we have to do is unlock the mystery.

  • Episode 233: Anthony DeStefano on his book The Sparrow Who Fell to the Ground (December 16, 2025)

    Episode 233: Anthony DeStefano on his book The Sparrow Who Fell to the Ground (December 16, 2025)
    2025/12/18
    In this episode of The Catholic Bookworm, Kiki Latimer interviews Anthony DeStefano on his book The Sparrow Who Fell to the Ground.

    A little bird with a broken wing. A storm-swept valley. A journey of courage.

    This unforgettable, heartwarming adventure from bestselling author Anthony DeStefano features a tiny sparrow born in the “Valley of Tears” — a place where light and darkness, joy and hardship exist side by side. Afraid to fly because of his damaged wing, he watches the world from below, longing for the sky but fearing the inevitable fall. Yet one day, despite his fears, he spreads his wings and takes flight — setting off on a journey that will change him forever.

    At first glance, this is a delightful and humorous children’s tale. But beneath the surface, it is much more. Inspired by the Gospel of Matthew, this book — magnificently illustrated by New York Times bestselling artist Richard Cowdrey — echoes the great themes of classic literature: perseverance through suffering, the paradox of strength in weakness, and the universal longing for redemption.

    In this stirring story, the little sparrow struggles, stumbles, and falls before he can soar. His falls are not failures but necessary steps along the path to victory — just as, in life, the road to growth, sanctity, and even Heaven itself requires first confronting our own brokenness.

    And this is the great truth at the heart of this book: like the sparrow, we are all born wounded. Just as gravity pulls him down, so too are we drawn toward failure, fear, and hopelessness. Yet the sparrow’s story reminds us that grace is always at work — even in our falls and despite our weaknesses. But through perseverance and trust, we can always rise from the ashes.

    With its engaging pace, profound message, and combination of humor and thrilling moments, The Sparrow Who Fell to the Ground is destined to become a modern classic — one that children will love, parents will cherish, and readers of all ages will never forget.
