The City of God.  St Augustine is great.
Son, when thou comest to the service of God, stand in justice and in fear, and prepare thy soul for temptation.

Jesus in the Talmud
The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
    It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
    It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
    And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
    And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.

And for all this, nature is never spent;
    There lives the dearest freshness deep down things;
And though the last lights off the black West went
    Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs —
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
    World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.

Brideshead Revisited for the 75th time.
For a Child is born to us, and a son is given to us, and the government is upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, God the Mighty, the Father of the world to come, the Prince of Peace

Peter Crawford, Constantius II: Usurpers, Eunuchs and the Anti-Christ. The title is a bit over the top, and the author is rather negative about St Athanasius, but it is a strong account of a a ruthless and very able Emperor (a dealer of death to family rivals and those who failed him, usurpers, rebels, one bishop, civil and military officials who couldn't play politics well enough, and Sassanid generals and Germanic warlords) who suffered a lose of repute due to the hostility of historian and Guard officer Ammianus Marcellinus and Church historians due to his harsh upholding of a semi-Arian position.
Padre Pio: Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.

The Deathly Hallows Lectures: The Hogwarts Professor Explains the Final Harry Potter Adventure, by John Granger. I thoroughly enjoyed his previous book, as well: Looking for God in Harry Potter, now updated and sold under the title: How Harry Cast His Spell: The Meaning Behind the Mania for J. K. Rowling's Bestselling Books . The latter's next on my to-read list.

Dicipline That Lasts a Lifetime by Dr. Ray

How is it?

So far, I like it a lot. I've been looking for a book like it for quite a while, but could never decide who to trust. It was recommended by a mother I know who has very well behaved kids.
May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable,
most incomprehensible and ineffable Name of God
be forever praised, blessed, loved, adored
and glorified in Heaven, on earth,
and under the earth,
by all the creatures of God,
and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ,
in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.
Amen.
