Amazing, Inspired Book
This book is written at a college or graduate school level, and it amazingly reveals the intelligence, brilliance, and pure divine-seeking mind of Blessed John Paul II. I read it before seeing any videos or courses on the subject because I wanted to fully understand the logic of the teaching of Blessed John Paul II. Christopher West conveyed the theological subjects clearly, going point by point over John Paul II's thinking. This book literally changed the way I see the world, and my only regret is that this information was not available to me in my childhood to adolescent years in the 1980s. Thanks to Blessed John Paul II and Christopher West, the message is now being brought into the mainstream. It is an astounding response to the sexual revolution of the 1960s to 1980s.

A good book for somone else.
I bought this book more then 3 years ago and still have not made myself finish it (I think I got a third to a half of the way through).This is a very large book, and either there is a lot in the message that I am not seeing or JP2 (and Mr West) spend a lot of words saying the same thing over and over again. You might get more out of this book if you have a quiet life and time to contemplate how the theories in this book will actually look when practiced out in real life. Despite thinking of myself as academically minded, I wish I had gotten one of Mr. Wests more "dumbed down" books on the subject. It is a really good message though.

A good guide for the beginner
West offers an accessible explanation to some of the more difficult passages and terms in John Paul II's Theology of the Body. I recommend it to those with a limited theological background, who want to be able to appreciate and live what Blessed John Paul II has left the Church. Thank you for this work, Christopher.

From "Beginnner" to the More in Depth version
This is another Christopher West clear exposition of Theology of the Body, moving well beyond the succinct "Theology of the Body for Beginners." I was titillated by the latter, and I am pleased to have moved into the more complete version now.

All you would expect, and then some.
Amazing, incredible book. I'm in a study group with some guys who have the original edition, and it's just fascinating to see how the revisions enrich the understanding, without, of course, detracting from the meaning.

Para quienes quieren ir más allá de una "introducción"
La Teología del Cuerpo y las enseñanzas de San Juan Pablo II sobre la sexualidad verdaderamente tienen el poder para transformar vidas y para acercarnos a descubrir el plan de Dios para nuestra sexualidad y nuestra felicidad. Este libro es para quienes quieren ir más a fondo y no solo quedarse con la "introducción" a estas realidades sino a encontrar el panorama completo. Verdaderamente ayudará a transformar tu visión, a compartir esta visión con otros, y a articular de manera más efectiva las enseñanzas de la Iglesia.
