From AudioFile
Based largely on Pope John Paul's "theology of the body," West's message is that sexual bonding is an aspect of Christ's connection to His Church on earth. Read with youthful enthusiasm by Paul Smith, the program discusses the Christian practice of cloaking sexual impulses in spiritual imagery and promoting strategies for managing such impulses. In West's confusing view of the Church's teachings about homosexuality, being gay is not a sin, but it is evil, a deviation from God's plan, and a sign of man's fallen nature! Still, the writing sounds less punitive than some religious approaches to sex and might help people who are desperate for some outside authority to manage this part of their lives.

Amazing!!!
This book changed my life. I understand the reasons for the Catholic Church's teaching on chastity, sex and marriage. This is a must for any Catholic!
This is a good book
A good book, as far as it goes. West answers a lot of basic questions well and this book has certainly been enormous help to a lot of people.
That having been said, however, a great complement to this work is Kellmeyer's "Sex and the Sacred City". Kellmeyer has a lyrical style and a clear, concise way about him. Even though it is shorter, it is somehow deeper than what West has written. His commentary on how the theology of the body impacts the relationship between children and parents, for example, is remarkable, as is his explanation of celibacy. If you have one of these two books, you should get the other.
It has changed my life!!
Although I was raised Catholic, I had never understood completely many issues of my faith. Upon reading this book, I have found the true meaning of my being, God's true plan for us in making us man and woman, and it is WONDERFUL!! Everyone should read this book, because it explains, in a simple language, what it means to be human.
