Theology of the Body Made Simple is dynamite. Reading it can change your life. An awesome job! —Adam Morris, Catholic Youth Ministry, Canberra-Goulburn This description may be from another edition of this product.
Church teachings on sexual morality are not intended to enslave us to some out-dated or unreachable moral code. They are based on the dignity and worth of each individual. Mr. Percy provides this readable and brief summary of Pope John Paul II's teaching on the foundations of sexual morality in this handy little volume. Some have called the "theology of the body" that John Paul taught, "a theological time bomb." It has been just that and the impact is not over. John Paul gave the best and most intellectually stimulating challenge yet to the so-called "sexual revolution" of the 20th century. The reverberations of this teaching will be felt for centuries. If you have ever had difficulty explaining to young people the reasons for sexual purity, you need this book. Share it with them as well. Find out what John Paul meant when he talked about, original solitude, original unity, original nakedness, and original sin. What you find may just be another sexual revolution in your heart. It is a theology of freedom, not slavery.
