The Power of Listening Well: How Holy Curiosity Can Build Trust and Restore Relationships

How do you raise children to stay faithful in a culture that questions everything? The Healing Power of Curiosity invites Catholic parents to rediscover Jesus' own approach--meeting others with both conviction and compassion. In a world split between rigidity and relativism, Dr. Greg Bottaro, Catholic psychologist and founder of the CatholicPsych Institute, offers a path that is faithful, freeing, and deeply human.

Rooted in Scripture, Church teaching, and sound psychology, this book helps parents respond to their children's hardest questions--not with fear or defensiveness, but with loving curiosity. Drawing on real-life stories from his clinical work, Bottaro shows how genuine listening and thoughtful dialogue don't weaken faith--they deepen it.

Each chapter offers practical tools to build bridges at home: Gospel-inspired conversation starters, reflection questions, and guidance for transforming tense moments into encounters of grace.

The Healing Power of Curiosity isn't about softening doctrine--it's about embodying it. When love leads and curiosity listens, hearts open, relationships heal, and faith grows stronger. Discover how your family can become a place where truth and tenderness meet, and where curiosity becomes a gift that draws every heart closer to Christ.
