Rating:  Summary: Great book - needs concentration, but worth the investment Review: The Soul of Sex is a wonderful follow up to Soul Mates. I am constantly amazed by Moore. How does a Catholic Priest have such good insight into the Inner Sanctum of relationships, when his own faith appears to distance itself from that? Whatever way he does it, Moore succeeds yet again. This is not light reading but it does touch the parts that most other authors fail to reach. In this category I exclude the inspiring "THE Autobiography of Jesus of Nazareth..." by Richard Patton. Both these authors deal with taboo religious subjects in a seemingly unbiased fashion that illuminates without emotional persuasion (the touch-stone of many a great writer). It appears that Moore has 'discovered' Tantra which Patton has already gone into in some considerable depth. Am I wrong or are there more writers today dealing with profound paradox's? Where were the Deepak Chopra's and Richard Patton's twenty years ago? Moore works from within the 'system' yet clearly wants us to question it. I loved this book and would love to see the look on Moore's ecclesiastical colleagues when they see it. This is a great book for those times when you KNOW you are not going to be interrupted. It needs concentration but the journey is well worth it.
Rating:  Summary: The book beautifully touches the ageless heart and soul. Review: Thomas Moore weaves a beautiful picture of human sexuality that goes beyond and through the crude and shallow side show billing that sexuality seems to carry today. I enjoyed reading this book from cover to cover.
