Freedom: 12 Lives Transformed by the Theology of the Body
Who am I? How do I find true happiness and fulfillment?
These are the fundamental questions in each of our lives. It quickly becomes clear, however, that the best the world can offer are counterfeits that wound us, betray us, and leave us wanting. Our longings for love, intimacy, and freedom are good, but the sexual revolution sold us a bill of goods that simply cannot satisfy.
But there is real hope, and it comes in the form of St. John Paul II s Theology of the Body.

The book's greatest asset is the diversity of its entries, each a first-person account of how Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body affected their lives. Its asset, however, is also its weakness, as I would have loved to hear the same stories in more abler writer's hands.
