NAWW Member, Linda Perrone Rooney, President of Rooney Consultants, announces the publication of her first three books, 101 Ways To Communicate With Your Kids; Habits of the Soul: Learning to Live On Purpose; and Hold Fast to Hope: Help for Caregivers of Those with Traumatic Injuries.
101 Ways To Communicate with Your Kids, (Allegro Press, 2005), is small, forty page book crammed with useful ways to communicate with kids at every age. It would be great for individual parents, parent associations, teachers, grandparents or just about anyone who wants to improve their ability to relate to and communicate with children from pre-school through teens.
Habit of the Soul: Learning to Live on Purpose, (Twenty-third Publications, 2006), was released on February 1, 2006, and is now in its second printing. The author attempts to assist spiritual seekers to awaken and deepen their spiritual lives by guiding them through a forty day spiritual quest. Structured to work at each person’s pace, Habits of the Soul focuses on scripturally-based reflection, solid spiritual wisdom, journaling and practical application. It is based on the belief that habits like prayer, repentance, forgiveness, and gratitude need to be cultivate at all stages of spiritual development if the life of the spirit is to be authentic and soul-nourishing.
Hold Fast to Hope: Help for Caregivers of Those with Traumatic Injuries, (Resurrection Press, 2006), will be released in April, 2006. Dr. Rooney wrote this book from her personal experience caring for a brain-injured husband, and enhanced it with her background as a chaplain and grief counselor. Hold Fast to Hope offers both practical insights into the many issues faced by caregivers in general and the special situations of those caring for a loved one with traumatic and sometimes irreversible injuries, and spiritual support for each segment of the journey. Each chapter provides a reflective exercise as well as prayer. The final chapter offers a variety of prayers and rituals that caregivers can use to help sustain their spirits. This book is ideal for caregivers but would be an excellent find in ICU waiting areas, clinics, doctor’s offices, churches, schools training medical personnel of types, pastoral care departments and CPE programs.
Dr. Rooney offers workshops, courses and retreats on the topics covered in these books, as well as consults on a variety of issues related to organizational development, conflict management and spirituality at work. She can be reached at lrooney106@aol.com
