Bøger af Christopher West

Millie is having a bad day. Her book manuscript has been rejected, she has been fired from her job and then, on top of that, she witnesses a terrible hit-and-run collision. She calls an ambulance for the victim and, while she waits for it to arrive, he asks a favour of her - to deliver his briefcase to a man whose name and address he gives her - but then, when her back is turned, he disappears. The briefcase contains a document that she can't resist reading. It appears to be a report which claims that an extraordinary, secret truth belies the whole of humankind. Millie is certain that it's a product of someone's imagination and the victim must be a writer or publisher, but then why is a stranger trying to persuade her that it's true? What is Project Human? And how is Millie's future inextricably tied to whether it's fact or fiction?

The world is experiencing a total eclipse of the meaning of the body. The definitions of boy and girl, masculinity and femininity, husband and wife, and mother and father have been obscured, and a shadow of confusion has been cast over gender, marriage, sex, and the family. Everything has been re-defined, and yet none of the new definitions are definite. Where did this come from-and more importantly-what needs to happen for the meaning of the body to become clear again? In this easy-to-read booklet, you'll discover what lies at the root of today's sexual chaos and gender confusion, and how it was foretold more than a century ago. You'll also learn how Saint John Paul II's Theology of the Body provides the antidote to the crisis of our times and paves the way for the "Triumph" foretold by the Virgin Mary in Fatima.

Hvad er forskellen på at være mand eller kvinde? Er forskellene ene og alene produkter af det samfundog den tid, vi lever i? Eller er der en dybere mening med det, som møder øjet? Disse og mange andre spørgsmål svarer Christopher West på idenne bog, som bygger på pave Johannes Paul 2.’s tanker om mennesketsseksualitet. Til grund for begrebet ”kroppens teologi” ligger overbevisningenom, at mennesket ikke er blevet til ved en tilfældighed, men at der eren mening med, at vi er født som enten mand eller kvinde. Kun hvis vi findertilbage til denne mening, får vi muligheden for at forstå den dybe sammenhængmellem kærlighed, ægteskab og seksualitet – og i sidste instans for at forstå,hvem vi selv er, og hvad meningen er med vores liv.Forfatteren Christopher West har skrevet flerebøger om kroppens teologi og er grundlægger af The Cor Project ogThe Theology of the Body Institute i USA, hvor man på internationaltplan arbejder med at udbrede kendskabet til kroppens teologi.

Broken families, abortion, AIDS, internet pornography, sexual abuse scandals, homosexual marriage; our Church and our world are in the midst of a profound sexual crisis. Is there a way out? For such a time as this have we been given St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body. Based on the words of Jesus, St. John Paul II's famous reflections on the body and sex take us to the root of the modern crisis and chart the path to an authentic sexual liberation. Yet the saint's dense scholarship often intimidates the average person. In his previous book, Theology of the Body Explained, Christopher West offered a more detailed, six-hundred-page commentary on St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body. Here, he provides a short and popular summary of the saint s revolutionary teaching while answering big questions like: What is the meaning of life? Why did God create us male and female? Why is there evil in the world and how do we overcome it? How do we attain true happiness on earth? What kind of joys await us in heaven? How can we experience the love we long for in the depth of our hearts? The first edition of Theology of the Body for Beginners (2004) quickly became an international best-seller. This freshly revised and expanded edition is based on Dr. Michael Waldstein s much improved translation of St. John Paul II s catechesis. New for this edition: All quotations have been updated with the new translation. Key insights discovered through Dr. Waldstein s access to the St. John Paul II archives have been incorporated. The outline of the text has been substantially reorganized to reflect the newly discovered outline of St. John Paul II's original manuscript. St. John Paul II's hidden and previously untranslated addresses are summarized.
