Amazing Treatise on Virginity,
By
This review is from: Virginity: A Positive Approach to Celibacy for the Sake of the Kingdom of Heaven (Paperback)
It is sad that the other reviewers have narrowed the scope of this book into a simple essay on celibacy; though it does treat extensively of this topic, Cantalamessa also treats of virginity as a virtue to be embraced by all of Christ's faithful, whether married or religious. Wondering how married people are to remain chaste? Read this book! His beautiful mastery of language, his exegesis, and his skill in writing make this book a must-read for all who desire another light on the path to holiness.

Celibacy isn't just for priests!,
By J.M. Zaher (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Virginity: A Positive Approach to Celibacy for the Sake of the Kingdom of Heaven (Paperback)
Obviously not all people are called to lifetime celibacy. But for those who are, either through their own choosing or by God's grace, this is a wonderful primer. There is much more to celibacy than abstaining from sex. Cantelamessa gives a deeply spiritual and yet completely practical treatment to the subject. Great as a reference for teen youth groups or for adults.
