Discover John Paul II's radical teaching on sex, love, and the meaning of life By Rev. Anthony Percy —Perfect for beginners, ideal for seekers—  Sex matters. Yet even deeper than the urge for sex is the desire for love. More than sexual, we are relational: meant for true and intimate relationship with each other and with God. Rather than a “casual indoor sport,” sex is sacred. And John Paul II’s radical perspective on how we view life, love, and sexuality can transform our relationships into profound experiences of communion. This is a simple introduction to the basic premise of Theology of the Body.  It explains how our bodies are symbolic, free, meant for love, and redeemed by Christ. It presents unambiguous reasons for the Church’s teaching on premarital sex, contraception, homosexuality, pornography, and more. And it gives reason to hope that the love we crave so deeply is, in fact, promised us by God…from the beginning. Are you… looking for more in a relationship? wondering about the meaning of life? passionate…yet sometimes unfulfilled? Have you… struggled with sexuality? questioned the reasons for the Church’s sexual teaching? felt confused about authentic sexual identity? Do you… like clear, straightforward explanations? enjoy a conversational, engaging read? want the basic of basics? Are you… too busy to wade through the Theology of the Body text? put off by JP II’s philosophical style? convinced that even “introductions” are too complex? If any of these questions resonate with you, then Theology of the Body Made Simple is the place to begin! “ Theology of the Body Made Simple is dynamite. Reading it can change your life. An awesome job!” —Adam Morris, Catholic Youth Ministry, - from Amzon
