LOVE AND RESPONSIBILITY

This is a deep look into the nature of true

MAN AND WOMAN HE CREATED THEM
A
Theology of the Body
Pope John Paul II
The Theology of the
Body presents a magnificent vision of the human
person. In these talks, John Paul II has given a
catechesis which is centered on the human
person, understood within the mystery of Christ.
Going back to the biblical "beginning" as
recorded in Genesis, the Pope discusses the
bodily dimension of human personhood, sexuality
and marriage in the light of biblical
revelation.

HOLY
SEX
A Catholic Guide to Toe-Curling,
Mind-Blowing, Infallible Loving
by
Gregory Popcak
This practical sex guide
incorporates, but goes well
beyond, marital sacramental
theology, and as such will be
welcomed by those who want to
adhere to Catholic teaching yet
still enjoy the passion of
sexual union. Psychotherapist
Popcak spends most of the book
elaborating on the Catholic view
of sex, citing various church
documents and the writings of
Pope John Paul II. He explains
why sex is holy, how it differs
from eroticism and why it is
intended solely for one man and
one woman who are married to
each other and open to having
children.

LIFE-GIVING LOVE
Embracing
God's beautiful Design for
Marriage
Kimberly Hahn
Kimberly Hahn offers a fresh but
deeply rooted perspective on the
true meaning of marital love and
its implications for a number of
significant issues: natural
family planning, contraception,
infertility, abortion,
sterilization, and miscarriage.
She draws from Scripture and
Church teachings as well as
poignant personal experiences
from dozens of families who
share their stories. Their
testimony will help you
rediscover the path of prayer,
sacrifice, and self-discipline
that God intends for married
couples-the path of life-giving
love.

PARENTING WITH GRACE
Catholic Parent's Guide to Raising Almost
Perfect Kids
by Gregory K.
Popcak
Exactly what is a
"Catholic parent"? Are we really any different
from other Christian or even non-Christian
parents, except perhaps in the prayers we teach
our children? Could it be that there is no such
thing as a Catholic parent, and this book is
merely a cynical niche marketing ploy?
The truth is
even more shocking. We believe that even beyond
the obvious essentials of prayers and parish
life, Catholic parents really are a different
breed of animal. This book will introduce you to
some of those differences and demonstrate how
you can make use of them to help your family
become a truly exceptional Catholic family.
