Freedom: 12 Lives Transformed by the Theology of the Body
Who am I? How do I find true happiness and fulfillment?
In Freedom, you will meet 12 people who, through the Theology of the Body have encountered Jesus Christ in the flesh, who offered the truth that set them free. Through their new-found freedom, these people have come to rediscover the meaning of their very existence. Many have had dramatic, life-altering experiences; others had buried truths, innate in all of us, awaken within them. All of them have discovered for themselves that the Theology of the Body answers the two most fundamental questions: 1) What does it mean to be human? 2) How do I live my life in a way that brings true happiness and fulfillment? These are questions we all long to find answers to, and the world offers no shortage of answers. But the longer we seek, the clearer we begin to see the best the world can offer are counterfeits that wound us, betray us and leave us wanting. Sadly, the truth of the Christ's teaching on sex is confirmed in the wounds of those who haven't lived it. Our longings for love, intimacy, and freedom are good, but the sexual revolution sold us a bill of goods that simply can not satisfy. We haven't been "liberated" - we've been bound and trapped.
But here's the Good News: if we read the signs of the times, we will realize the Theology of the Body is not a fad. God is doing something. A new sexual revolution is underway - spreading slowly and quietly in human hearts that welcome the truth that this Polish Pope proclaimed about the human person.
The predominant cultural ideology will collapse when enough men and women realize who they really are and to what bodily glory the en-fleshed God calls them to. The TOB revolution is beginning to take root in one person, one body at a time. The world is a mission field ready to soak up John Paul II's Theology of the Body, and it's already changing so many lives around the world. In Freedom, you'll meet 12 people who asked the same questions you have and are here to proclaim from the rooftops: "This is what you've been looking for all along!"
In Freedom, you will discover the power of the Theology of the Body in the lives of:
? A man who was liberated from his addiction to Internet pornography.
? A woman who, after suffering terrible abuse by her family, was freed from a life of poor self-esteem, eating disorders, and drug addiction.
?A young mother whose wounds from past sexual sin and a teenage pregnancy was healed, allowing her to become the wife and mother her family needed.
?A priest who learned how to live his priesthood mystically united with Jesus, the divine Bridegroom.
? An evangelical Christian whose relationship with Christ was deepened by a newfound appreciation for the Incarnation.
