Courage to Be Chaste

Summary: A good guide to chaste celibacy
Review: "The Courage to be Chaste," a book originally written for homosexual men desiring to live as chaste celibates, has come to be one of the premiere reads for people who either wish to live as chaste celibates in today's world, or simply wish to know more about the Catholic perspective on chaste celibacy. Written from his perspective as a Catholic psychiatrist, Fr. Groeschel thoroughly examines the topic in just over 100 pages. He examines ways a chaste celibate can be an active member of the community, how chaste celibacy does not run contrary to human sexuality, and other topics that are often confused by people who wish to discount chaste celibacy as "psychologically unhealthy." Laced with anecdotes and personal experience, Fr. Groeschel's book is a steal for the price and can be easily knocked out in an afternoon.

Summary: Helpful advice for single people
Review: I am a single man over 30 and I found this book to be quite helpful, for living a lifestyle which is chaste and pleasing to God. I like, for example, the author's focus on the importance of friendships, and the practical suggestions he offers in this and in other areas. I also like the fact that he addresses psychological conflicts people may have experienced. I definitely recommend this book for singles (especially those who can't or who are unlikely to marry for whatever reason).
