Christians in the Western world often (and gladly) emphasize the "doability" of the spiritual life. But in the author's opinion, not everything is in the hands of man.

It shapes our identity and guides us on the path of our destiny. Finally, it is grace that equips us to...

One of the theological classics of the twentieth century, Niebuhr's Moral Man and Immoral Society argues that using moral persuasion and shaming to affect the behavior of such collectives as corporations and nation states is fruitless, as these groups will inevitably seek to promote only their self-interest. He calls for a realistic assessment of group behavior and enumerates how individual morality can mitigate social immorality.

That's what the Understanding and Loving Your Child series of books will do.
