Freedom
to Love: The world tells us that freedom is the ability to do what we
want, whenever we want, with whomever we want. But sexual chaos,
exploitation, broken families, and a lot of pain have been the result of
this “freedom.” Recognizing the world’s confusion, Pope John
Paul II proclaimed the Theology of the Body–a profound message of love and
human sexuality. He turned the notion of freedom on its head, declaring it
to be selfless rather than selfish. Freedom to Love is a
powerful, five-part study for young adults with DVDs, Leader's Guide and
students workbooks, perfect for your young adult group. In it, popular
author and presenter Christopher West lays out a convincing and refreshing
road map to living a life of freedom. The concepts presented in this study
will change everything, including your worldview. For more
