We mentioned a few big announcements this week. The first is the launch of my latest book with my wife and co-host of More2Life Radio, Lisa Popcak titled, Then Comes Baby: The Catholic 
Guide to Surviving & Thriving in the First 3 Years of Parenthood.
The biggest parenting question we get is, “How can I balance it all? How can I attend to baby’s needs without losing my mind or my marriage?” Then Comes Baby: The Catholic Guide to Surviving & Thriving in the First 3 Years of Parenthood shows you how to do this an a whole lot more!
In Then Comes Baby: The Catholic Guide to Surviving and Thriving in the First Three Years of Parenthood, Lisa and I lend readers the benefit of our twenty-five years’ experience in parenting and marriage and family counseling to help them navigate the earliest years of parenthood. Here are just some of the things we address…
~How to meet your baby’s needs fully without neglecting your own needs or your marriage.
~How to manage feeding, fatigue, and finances.
~Managing common questions about baby and mama’s sleep.
~How to protect yourself from The Mommy Wars.
~How to overcome the self criticism that can undermine your confidence as parents.
~How to deepen your spiritual life by discovering the grace of each moment with your child.
~How to establish rituals and routines that will serve as the foundation of a joyful, faith-filled family life!
~AND SO MUCH MORE!!!
We coach Catholic couples as they adjust to their new identities as mom and dad and help them face the inevitable challenges of parenthood–all while seeing these everyday experiences through the lens of Catholic teaching on the purpose of family life.

“Then Comes Baby provides solid, hands-on help and rich Catholic guidance for parents on how to love their child deeply as they strengthen their love for each other. This book will help them become holy families.” Most Reverand Joseph E. Kurtz. Archbishop of Louisville President, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
“Then Comes Baby is a delightful book for new Catholic parents, full of personal anecdotes and wonderful insights. But most of all, the advice and encouragement you will find is extremely useful in learning how to be the parents God has called you to be. What we like best about this book is that it addresses the new mom and the new dad with equal emphasis. Husbands and wives are together called to build a healthy Catholic family by having a strong faith walk. This book tells them what works when both parents, together, are uniquely aware of the design God intends for families when Baby comes.” Dr. William and Martha Sears, Co-authors of The Baby Book and The Attachment Parenting Book
