Book Description

September 1996
Mary Beth Bonacci speaks to nearly 100,000 people every year. She speaks to people across the country and around the world - about friendship, about relationships, about marriage, about God's plan for sexuality, and about finding real, honest love.

And they speak back to her. They ask her questions -- about sex, about dating, about healing after a shattered relationship, about marriage, about their struggles to live love. Now, for the first time, Mary Beth has published those questions - and her answers - in a comprehensive, readable guide which addresses the details of the very real struggle that people face in trying to live real love in a world gone mad.

Through these questions and her answers, Mary Beth offers a comprehensive catechesis of the Church's teaching in the areas of marriage and human sexuality. She tackles the toughest issues - premarital sex, contraception, divorce, homosexuality, pornography and others. She gives practical advice on living the Church's teachings. And throughout it all, she demonstrates that living respect for God's gift of sexuality is the way - the only way - to find real, honest. love.

5.0 out of 5 stars So Helpful! March 25, 2000
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
As a teenager growing up in the Catholic Church, I knew I wanted to save sex for marriage, but I didn't really have a good reason for doing so besides, "the church says so." Mary Beth Bonacci explains the excellent practice of Chastity in her book, telling all about how to live Chastity, what it is, and Why we should live Chastity. Not only that, but she also answers dating and marriage questions. This book helped me to find answers to so many of the questions I was asking, and helped me to realize there were some impure things in my life I needed to stop, or change. If you want to know why the Catholic Church says to save sex for marriage, and get some tips on living Chastity, READ THIS BOOK!
