"Why is it that protestants blow off all this stuff? An amazing explanation of the interconnectedness of our human dignity, our callings, our nature, and our place in God's creation. Wish I would have read this long ago."
"Required reading for marriage prep. Surprisingly strong argument for the Catholic church's position on sex that doesn't rely too heavily on "church rhetoric". Despite going into the book fairly skeptical, I came out fairly impressed."
"You want to know more about JPII's Theology of the Body? Well, here it is - very easy to read, a good primer for those who want to dive deeper into Catholic teaching about sexuality."
"The good news about sex and marriage: through the power of the cross (and with our consent), God eagerly reaches into our lives to redeem, and perfect our sexuality/relationships/marriages in accordance to his will (a.k.a. our sincere happiness).
This book influenced me from two aspects. On one hand, (the most obvious) the book has convinced me at a personal level what sexual satisfaction and fulfillment in relationships/marriage is about. On the other hand, the book also reminds me of the bigger picture: as the human race matures, our understanding of sex and marriage is bound to gravitate towards truth, and cause our social behaviors to change accordingly. In other words, something tells me humanity is ready to go rom drinking milk to eating solid food where sex/marriage is concerned. We will and may spit on ourselves half the time...but we'll learn. Who knows what sex/marriage looks like once we are able to eat by ourselves.
