    • Lorsque j'explique l'enseignement de l'Eglise, en n'appuyant sur ma propre expérience et sur ce que j'ai appris de Jean-Paul II, les gens me disent à tous les coups : "J'ai fait toute ma scolarité dans des écoles catholiques et je n'ai jamais entendu ça, pourquoi ?" ou encore : "Si seulement j'avais su ça plus tôt, ça m'aurait peut-être épargné des erreurs et des souffrances". Puisse ce livre vous aider à connaître, comprendre et expérimenter l'amour humain véritable. C'est en lui, en effet, que nous trouvons l'image du divin, un avant-goût du paradis - la pleine satisfaction de tous nos désirs les plus intimes".

      Exploring the confusion surrounding gender and family roles in contemporary society, this booklet delves into the shifting definitions of masculinity, femininity, and relationships. It examines the origins of today's sexual chaos and highlights prophetic insights from over a century ago. The work emphasizes the significance of Saint John Paul II's Theology of the Body as a solution to current crises, suggesting it offers clarity and hope for restoring the true meaning of the body, in alignment with the promises made by the Virgin Mary in Fatima.

      Eclipse of the Body
    • Building on the legacy of Pope John Paul II, it is significant that the first encyclical letter of Pope Benedict XVI is dedicated to the topic God is Love. The Holy Father demonstrates that it is agape, the self-sacrificial love of God that empowers romantic love, eros, with life-giving and meaningful existence. In The Love That Satisfies, Christopher West draws from the Pope s letter a series of insightful and inspiring reflections on the nature of eros, agape, and the relationship between the two. He shows that it is through recognizing and embracing the beauty of God s self-sacrificial love that a person is able to truly be satisfied. In uniting the love of God to the love of spouse, the nuptial bond is fulfilled. Perhaps even more profound is the reality that God and the Bridegroom of the Church has a personal love for his Bride that may certainly be called eros (Benedict XVI, Deus Caritas Est, n. 9).

    • If Pope John Paul II's theology of the body is a "theological time bomb set to go off" (George Weigel), this book lights the fuse. Christopher West unpacks the pope's profound teachings and translates them into accessible language, making it an ideal companion to the original text. For the first time, readers have a comprehensive commentary that follows the complete series of general audiences in an engaging manner. Both scholars and general readers will find this commentary rewarding. George Weigel notes the need for such explication for those outside specialized fields, praising West for his intellectual care and practical experience as a teacher and family man. West's work makes the theology of the body accessible to a broad audience. As a research fellow and faculty member of the Theology of the Body Institute, Christopher West is a highly sought-after speaker, having delivered over 1000 lectures across four continents and in numerous countries and cities. His books—Good News About Sex & Marriage, Theology of the Body Explained, and Theology of the Body for Beginners—are Catholic bestsellers. He has also lectured at prestigious institutions, offering graduate and undergraduate courses at various seminaries and universities, reaching hundreds of thousands through national radio.

      "According to Pope John Paul II, if we live according to the true meaning of our sexuality, we "fulfill the very meaning of [our] being and existence." The human body is a "theology" because it is meant to be a sign of God's own life and love in the world. With clarity and precision, Christopher West unpacks John Paul II's Theology of the Body, translating it into a language everyone can understand"--Amazon.

      Teológia tela, názov súboru prejavov Jána Pavla II. o láske, manželstve, sexualite a zodpovednom rodičovstve, je mnohými považovaná za skutočnú revolúciu v katolíckom chápaní sveta a človeka. Napriek tomu zostáva veľkej časti kresťanom úplne neznáma. Nie je je jednoduché prečítať a do všetkých detailov pochopiť knihu s takmer 600 stranami, písanú hutným filozofickým štýlom. Je to ako keď sa vyberáme do neprebádanej krajiny: potrebujeme sprievodcu. A práve preto vznikla táto kniha. Teológia tela pre začiatočníkov sviežim spôsobom "prekladá" ohromujúce posolstvo Jána Pavla II. do jazyka bežného čitateľa. Stránku za stránkou, odstavec za odstavcom odkrýva hlboké súvislosti medzi sexualitou a najdôležitejšími otázkami ľudskej existencie: Aký je zmysel a cieľ nášho života? Prečo nás Boh stvoril ako muža a ženu? Prečo nás sexualita tak priťahuje a zároveň znepokojuje? Aký význam má zrieknutie sa manželstva v celibáte?

      Teológia tela pre začiatočníkov
    • Stručný úvod do sexuální revoluce Jana Pavla II. Teologie těla, název souboru promluv Jana Pavla II. o lásce, manželství, sexualitě a odpovědném rodičovství, je mnohými považována za skutečnou revoluci v katolickém chápání světa a člověka. Přesto však zůstává velké části křesťanů naprosto neznámá. Není snadné přečíst a do všech důsledků pochopit knihu psanou hutným filosofickým stylem. Teologie těla pro začátečníky svěžím způsobem „překládá“ ohromující poselství Jana Pavla II. do jazyka běžného čtenáře. Postupně odkrývá hluboké vzájemné souvislosti mezi sexualitou a nejdůležitějšími otázkami lidské existence: Jaký je smysl a cíl našeho života? Proč nás Bůh stvořil jako muže a ženu? Proč nás sexualita tak přitahuje a zároveň znepokojuje? Jaký význam má zřeknutí se manželství v celibátu? Co nás čeká v nebi?
