Great for TOB study groups!

I am using this book with my new Theology of the Body study group and it is working out wonderfully so far. I was introduced to the TOB through this book almost two years ago and I think it provides an excellent introduction to the TOB without watering it down. I definitely recommend it as a personal read or for use with a study group.

blinders lifted

I selected this book at a pivitol time in my and my now husband's relationship. It made simply what JP2 has been trying to say in his Theology of the Body. After I read it I passed it on to him; and we both found more clearly what marriage is meant to be and could communicate with each other what aspects of faith and marriage are important to us. We were very confident on our wedding day (and still are) that we married the right person. I have purchased several copies to share with friends and young people; especially those wondering where their relationships are going. The questions are thought provoking and the points are backed up by scripture. I highly recommend this book to those who want to share with their partner a life-long committment deeply rooted in faith.

Excellent discussion guide for John Paul II Theology of the Body

Mary Healy presents the thoughts of John Paul II's Theology of the Body in an understandable beautiful fashion. It is one of the best representations of this great work that I have read or studied.

Men and Women are from Eden

Great work giving a summary of John Paul II's Theology of the Body.

Excellent Perspective

Mary Healy has an excellent grasp of John Paul ll's "Theology fo the Body," and her book, "Men and Women Are From Eden," is an excellent primer or study guide for anyone interested in tackling "Theology of the Body." This book is an easy read and drives home the creator's purpose for sex, relationships, marriage, and pro-creation form our Creator's perspective. This book should be required for all engaged couples, or married couples confused about the Churches teaching on birth control and divorce.
