Healing the Culture
$16.95
By Rev. Robert Spitzer. The main purpose of this book is to present a common-sense philosophy of the prolife position, and it accomplishes this goal admirable. But I like the book for more than that. It invites the reader to reexamine the way he looks at life's most compelling issues--happiness, suffering, success, failure, freedome, love, personhood, human rights and the common good--and provides a simple yardstick (the 4 levels of happiness) by which one's motives, actions and goals can be evaluated. If paretns could internalize and pass on these principles to the next generation, it would indeed go a long way toward healing the culture. Ages 16+.

The Christian Meaning of Human Sexuality

By Paul M. Quay, S.J., Ph.D. This is my absolute favorite book on this subject. It is beautiful, reverent, inspiring and true. Using scripture and the writings of the Early chruch Fathers, Father Quay describes the meaning of human sexuality on both the natural and supernatural levels. Reading this book could change the way you think (and act) about human sexuality. Written for adults. I have shared this book to my older children at about age 18.
