Book Overview
The bestselling author, speaker, and teacher of John Paul II's Theology of the Body explores the yearning we all have for God and each other. Fill These Hearts is a book about desire . Not trivial wants or superficial cravings, but the most vital powers of body and soul, sexuality and spirituality, that haunt us and compel us on our search for something . Weaving life-altering lessons together from classical and contemporary art, pop music, movies, and the Christian mystical tradition, popular theologian Christopher West explores the ancient but largely forgotten idea that the restless, erotic yearnings we feel in both our bodies and our spirits reveal the cry of our hearts for God. Along the way, West blows the lid off the idea of Christianity as a repressive, anti-sex religion by demonstrating that Christ came to stretch and inflame our desire for love and union to the point of infinity.

A thoughtful read
Published by Sophia F , 5 years ago
There's a thousand books on purity out there today, but this one captures the "why?" behind the call to chastity. Why bother with the struggle that is chastity and purity when so many people are telling you to cave into your desires and "do what makes you happy"? What many people don't realize and what this book is so keen on expressing is that our desires have a design written into them. Discovering the truth of your desires draws you to a freedom that is not found in fleeting moments of pleasure, but in a life lived on the pathway to the ultimate Source of all our desires. This book is approachable for teens as well as adults and is worth the read
