All some drivers care about, in their rage, is themselves. Self-gratification permeates all of our society and seems to be drawing us further and further apart from each other. People are often intent on their own individual pursuits and pleasures with little or no sense or care that there are other people all around them with which to interact. Yet, there are so many daily occasions for you as parents, to lead and guide your children into the knowledge that they are indeed special but that they will certainly be the happiest if they treat others as special, too. We have the privilege of guarding our children from becoming egocentrically isolated, while growing toward becoming mature individuals who have not lost sight of their families or their communities.

Well, the time has come again to offer some suggestions for summer reading.
