An amazing book on Celibacy. The later chapters on the importance of Christian friendship were great and very important for me to read. Lots of good information to chew on about what it takes to be celibate.

Great book, even for those considering marriage. It has a great overlap with chastity and real friendship.

This is a great book on religious celibacy from Andrew Apostoli, one of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (C.F.R.). It was originally begun (as many good books by Catholic religious were) as a set of conferences for friar novices. I recomend it for anyone considering a vocation to religious life or the priesthood, as well as for teachers and parents responsible for guiding young people.

Great look at celibacy but also the nature of all human sexuality (including within marriage). Good, accesible primer on this issue. A humorous line from the book was "If sex equated exactly to happiness, the world would be a lot sunnier".

Great book! A must read specially for seminarians and young people discerning a religious vocation (e.g. Marriage, priesthood, nun-hood)

I did enjoy a number of sections in this book, but some I did not. The sections of Christian friendship brought me great joy at the insight given. That part alone makes this book worth reading :)
