Theology of the Body: An Adult
Formation Program Based Upon Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body
What is the “Theology of
the Body”? In the words of Pope John Paul II, if we live according to the true
meaning of our sexuality, we “fulfill the very meaning of [our] being and
existence.” The Holy Father describes the body as a “theology” because the
human body, in the mystery of sexual difference and our call to union, is
meant to be a sign of God’s own life and love in the world. The set includes
four 45 min. talks.

How do you know whom the Lord wants you to marry? If you do meet someone special, how can your relationship develop in a godly and holy manner? What elements are essential during dating and courtship to discern whether or not you are following God's will? In this new audio series, Dating &
Courtship-- A Catholic Perspective, Kimberly Hahn shares rich insights gained from many years of Bible study and from her experience as a Christian woman, wife and mother of five. Originally presented at a women's study group in Steubenville, Ohio, Kimberly touches upon some very important and timely topics. She clearly demonstrates that only by returning to God's Word for direction can we hope to find lasting happiness and authentic holiness in friendships. She discusses three keys to courtship drawn from Scripture and personal experience--preparation, character development and accountability. She shows that these elements, while in no way exhaustive, build a rock-solid foundation to develop good friendships, avoid frustration and pain, show honor and respect to others, and even provide a godly heritage for future children. You are sure to learn life-long lessons that will help incorporate a divine dimension into your close relationships, including ones with your own immediate family. Discover how to elevate natural virtues by means of the seven-fold gifts of the Holy Spirit. Cultivate ways to master self-control and gain deeper appreciation of the distinct differences between the two sexes. Dating & Courtship provides much practical advice and encourages you to set your standards high--according to God's ways not your own! Although presented from a feminine perspective, the thoughts conveyed in these four tapes will illuminate both men and women. This series will direct you and those you love down the right path leading to rewarding relationships rooted in Christ.
How many couples have grasped the Biblical vision of marriage according to the Catholic Church's teaching? Not everyone is clear about just what this vision is. That's why you'll find this latest series from Scott and Kimberly Hahn to be so valuable. They not only have steeped themselves in the theological vision of Christian marriage -- they strive to live it -- and provide you with dozens of practical tips they've learned over their years together. For Scott and Kimberly, the idea that marriage is a vocation -- a call from God to live a life of holiness -- is not a pious platitude. It's a challenge from God, one that calls forth all of their reserves of courage, good humor, insight and compassion. It's also the most exciting, fulfilling part of their lives. When you marry in Christ, you not only enter into a sacred covenant or family bond, but you add a third partner--Christ himself.
Before you go looking for a parish with more pizzazz, you owe it to yourself to listen to this fascinating, step by step tape series on the Mass--and find out how beautiful the Catholic liturgy really is and how it lifts earth up to heaven. In this series, Dr. Hahn examines the Mass as a whole, as well as each individual section, and shows that the Mass has an intricate yet logical pattern: All of the liturgical colors, postures, sounds, and smells that bombard us are there for a reason. The five senses participate in this very physical, very spiritual act of worship. Dr. Hahn takes the Mass from its place in the "big picture" of covenant theology and salvation history and breaks it into bite size pieces for everyone to understand and enjoy. Beginning by pointing out the inner logic of the various parts of the Mass, Dr. Hahn explains in simple yet comprehensive detail the many parts and elements of the Mass -- from the entrance song, to the sign of the cross, to the final blessing and dismissal. Providing scriptural support and references for a worship service that is almost entirely drawn from Scripture, he explains how each part of the liturgy transforms the ordinary into the extra-ordinary; the physical into the spiritual; the earthly into the heavenly. And best of all, you won't need a degree to figure it out--he never gets bogged down in heavy theology. Dr. Hahn explains how, in the Mass, we take part in the heavenly worship. The book of Revelation, he says, is a description of the liturgy of heaven -- the angels and saints singing and praising in adoration. In the Mass we are whisked up to heaven, as John was (Rev 4:1-2), to join the angels and saints before the throne of God. When we sing or say "Glory" and "Holy, holy, holy" we are joining "in their unending hymn." This series is a must for all Catholics. No longer do you have to be lost for words when asked, "Why do you Catholics do that in the Mass?" And the next time your mind wanders at Mass, bring it back -- remember that you are surrounded by angels. Act Now and order this four tape series!
