Anhand von sieben wahren Wundern führt uns Caspar Henderson in Mikrokosmen und Universen, die zum Staunen einladen und ein tieferes Verständnis erlauben, ohne uns den Zauber zu nehmen. Neugier ist die Voraussetzung für alles Wissen, vielleicht sogar Grundlage des Menschseins. Die Fähigkeit zum Staunen verbindet uns alle. Und je mehr wir über die Welt wissen, desto mehr vermag sie uns zu begeistern, wie Hendersons brillante Berichte aus den Wissenschaften beweisen: Photonen etwa haben weder Masse noch Ladung, können nicht zum Stillstand kommen, dafür aber die Form wechseln. Und bis heute ist nicht gänzlich geklärt, wie sie sich eigentlich mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit fortbewegen können. Das Herz wiederum ist der variantenreichste Muskel, den die Natur hervorgebracht hat - mehr als tausend Mal schlägt ein Kolibriherz pro Minute, nur zwei Mal das Herz einer Muschel. Doch der Zauber dieses lange unerforschten Organs verliert sich auch durch seine Ergründung nicht. Ähnlich verhält es sich mit dem Gehirn, das weitaus komplexer ist als jeder Rechner, der bisher gebaut wurde, und das wir gerade erst zu verstehen beginnen. Mit seiner Karte der Weltwunder nimmt uns Caspar Henderson mit auf eine aufregende Reise in die Philosophie, Geschichte, Kunst, Religion, Naturwissenschaften und Technologie, um uns das Staunen als Möglichkeit der Weltwahrnehmung und Haltung zurückzugeben. 'Caspar Henderson möchte die Welt wieder verzaubern - mithilfe ihrer wissenschaftlichen Erklärung.' - The Guardian

Sexy Masculine Fragrance
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this masculine scent. I saw it in a store, opened the lid to sniff it and decided this was DEFINITELY something I would enjoy on my husband, so I bought it for my him. He likes the body wash and I LOVE the way he smells. For years, he used Coast Original soap and his female co-workers frequently remarked when he passed by them how he always smelled so fresh (he did smell good!). However, since Monsieur Houbigant MUSK FOR MEN cologne I have not found a male fragrance I liked as much as that one. Houbigant went bankrupt, Dana took over the fragrance and it never smelled as good as the original. In years since, I have not found a male fragrance I liked as much as Distillers Blend Body Wash. I haven't seen it in stores yet, but I now see it also comes in a cologne. Some descriptions online call it a Unisex Fragrance but to me it is definitely MALE and the body wash was sold in the male toiletries in stores. If I detected it on a woman, I would have thought it came off while being close to her husband. I am going to buy the cologne for my husband next. And the Amazon price for 3 bottles is very good, much less per bottle than in the stores. I highly recommend it!!!! ENJOY!!!

A great guide to learn how to learn how our Father wants us to be raising our kids.
Format: Audiobook
Wonderful read it really helped put in perspective how we can have grace with our kids and ourselves. Not everyone was raised this way and it is so nice to find and learn how we can unlearn some of those "bad" habits and refrigerator our minds so that we have a stronger relationship and more respectful relationship with our kids and the Father.

Pleasantly surprised by the humor and practical exercises
Format: Kindle
Ok, so generally, I hate parenting books. I've read at least 5 well known Christian parenting books, and I'm usually either bored to tears with impractical theories that don't really work with my three strong-willed boys, or angry at the over-simplified anecdotes that also don't work with my kids. It feels like most parenting books are written by men who have fully-grown children and I struggle to relate. I've gleaned a few techniques here and there that have been helpful, but left mostly dissatisfied.
I have to say that I have been pleasantly surprised by this one! I appreciate that it's written by a fellow mom who is not too far down the parenting road that she's forgotten how hard it is. And she is funny! The embarrassing story she shares about her daughter's first birthday party literally had me laughing so hard I had tears rolling down my face. That alone was worth the book for me.
I'm only about halfway through right now, but it's been such a refreshing book. I love the practical ideas for sorting family rules/values, and evaluating infractions, misdemeanors and felonies. The suggested activities are practical and not overwhelming. I find myself wanting to discuss it with my husband to try some different ideas already. That is a win!
And ultimately the gospel-centered approach of what it looks like to parent our children the way God parents us - with a balanced grace - is what I want to be doing.

The perfect parenting book for the perfect time!
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed the book a lot! I laughed and I cried, then I laughed some more. The way you wrote the book is how I would write something like this. I really appreciated how you described your real life circumstances, most I can relate to… i.e. don’t open another cereal box till the current one is empty, how you threw together Riley’s birthday party but said all-well and let God lead, and how you are a visual learner and your husband lives on an Excel sheet. LOL, so funny! I really loved how you put humor into what can be an exhausting task of parenting, we need the laugh.
On a serious note, it was great that you started w/ the idea of your own heart check before you disciple your children and that the idea is to always discipline in our kids’ best interests. I also loved learning to “protect our kids LESS so we can PREPARE them more.” Our son is in 6th grade this year and boy is that an eye opener and true statement for him. Having good boundaries (rules), decipher each violation, what are his motives, and the consequences (and specific listed ones) were amazing and a huge confirmation for me as we’ve started into the pre-teen years. Thank you so much for a God-led book on parenting when it’s the hardest but most rewarding thing a person can ever do.

good discussion of discipline, but not anti-spanking as I was lead to believe
Format: Paperback
What I liked:
-Murray encourages parents not to react identically to all "infractions." Children misbehave in different ways and certain behaviors are not as bad as others. It's straight up bad parenting to react the same way in every occasion (e.g. breaking a lamp while rough housing is not the same as cheating on a test at school and should not be addressed identically. "disobedience" is not a catch-all "sin").
-Murray encourages parents to consider developmental abilities (toddlers are toddlers and it is not immoral for them to act like toddlers) and different personalities (perfectionists might seem more well-behaved than their artsy free spirited siblings, but it's just because perfectionists feel more at home in rigidity, while such rigidity suffocates a free spirit).
What I didn't like:
-Murray acts like she doesn't care whether you spank (she makes one small reference in the body of the book and waits to address spanking until an appendix at the end). However, it is clear that she is pro-spanking when she accuses non-spankers of falling into license or a lack of desire to discipline (the only thing spankers have to worry about is abuse, which is such a vague standard). Honestly this appendix really upset me because the rest of the book seemed so positive and powerful and it was disappointing to read after ALL THAT, basically the best discipline for young children is a spank.
But I didn't want to drop the book's rating all the way down to a 2 or 3 because the body of the book really is helpful and much more positive than most conservative, Christian parenting books that automatically center every discipline discussion around "the rod."
