Customer Reviews

Morality/vocations teacher must-have
I teach high school morality and vocations, and this book has been a rich personal resource of both clear, relevant information and classroom activities that have been invaluable for lesson planning: prayer services for each chapter; suggested movie clips and songs to use in tandem with the text; many hands-on/kinetic learning activities; excellent journal and discussion questions; and my favorite of all teaching methods, the personal story. The authors have included a broad variety of genuine, heartfelt testimony from people of all backgrounds and experiences. No surprise that students love and integrate the principles of these stories; Jesus, after all, used that method also when He taught through parables.

From a religion teacher's perspective
I would love to see this book in a catholic high school religion curriculum. It is relevant and engaging, at least from a teacher's point of view. I think it is a good tool for opening up the discussion of sex and love with teenagers today, and more importantly, keeping that discussion going by using language that teens will not instantly tune out. It's grounded in Scripture and other specific, official Church teachings, which is essential for driving the point home with young people today. Overall, a great text.

Theology of the Body for Teens
This is an excellent interpretation of Pope John Paul II's incredible philosophy of our use of the body in our goal to love God. This workshop opens teens to a clear and new perspective on their sexuality, chastity, and vocations. Well done Brian, Jason and Crystalina!
