A Case for Chastity: The Way to Real Love and True Freedom for Catholic Teens

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Guide for all seeking purity of life
Review: This book is a must have for all interested in maintaining their purity of life or for those who wish to change from an unchaste lifestyle. Both the authors offer a unique perspective from their own personal and professional experience. I especially appreciated the practical advice given to those who are dating as they learn chaste and appropriate forms of affection. As a former youth group leader I found the cases in this book very applicable for faith formation amongst our young people. Gallagher and Vlahutin's book is a must have.

Summary: Must-have for any teen
Review: This book is an excellent resource for teens, parents, and all those who minister to youth. The A to Z format breaks the book down into short, easy-to-read chapters that present the authors' message clearly and convincingly. The text is interspersed with real stories from teenagers, which makes the book relatable and relevant to teens living in today's sex-saturated society. Not only are the teenagers' stories real and enlightening, but the authors share a little bit about themselves as well to let the reader know that they, too, have chosen chastity. This book is a must-have for any young adult wondering why he or she should choose chastity. As a person who works with teenagers, I highly recommend this book to teens, parents, and everyone else who knows and loves teenagers.

Summary: I can't put it down!!
Review: This book is an exciting new resource for teens, or ANYone, who seeks a logical explanation for choosing to live the virtue of chastity. It's packed with true stories from people who've experienced first hand the positive results of choosing to be chaste, as well some stories of people's regrets and the consequences associated with not living chastity. I'm sure I'll be referring to it often for help when sorting out my own dating dilemmas, and when I want to find just the right words to defend my choice for chastity. This is an excellent and practical guide to understanding what an amazingly beautiful gift that sex really is, and why the Catholic Church would want us to treat it with supreme honor and respect!

Summary: Why this book is worth 5 stars!?!
Review: Well, I'll tell you. Balance. Not many people like reading thick and labor intensive textbooks. Who has the time or the effort? As well, not many people like to read books that are filled with a bunch of ramblings that amount to nothing. Why would someone give there time or effort to that? A Case for Chastity is neither so thick only a Rhodes scholar could appreciate it nor is it light in content! No, this book hits the topic head on and has a lot of practicality,...and that's just what's needed in our society because of the freedom that is afforded to young people. It's refreshing to hear the topic of love, including physical love, framed in a way that is appropriate to the beauty that is real love. The book is very respectful with the topic. This book, in part, tells the "whys" which are so critical because it respects our minds. In a very real way this book is good for adults too. I wish I was given this book when I was younger. Perhaps someone was too embarrashed to buy a book like this for me so my only education was from the world about love. Are you brave enough to get this for yourself or a loved one? Thank you Heather and Peter for showing us the dignity of this topic!
