	Jesus of Nazareth PB Pope Benedict XVI; Joseph Ratzinger WYD SYD 08 HIGHLIGHT: 'THIS BOOK IS... MY PERSONAL SEARCH 'FOR THE FACE OF THE LORD.'' --BENEDICT XVI In this bold, momentous work, the Pope�in his first book written as Benedict XVI�seeks to salvage the person of Jesus from recent �popular� depictions and to restore Jesus� true identity as discovered in the Gospels. Through his brilliance as a theologian and his personal conviction as a believer, the Pope shares a rich, compelling, flesh-and-blood portrait of Jesus and incites us to encounter, face-to-face, the central figure of the Christian faith. From Jesus of Nazareth� �the great question that will be with us throughout this entire book: But what has Jesus really brought, then, if he has not brought world peace, universal prosperity, and a better world? What has he brought? The answer is very simple: God. He has brought God! He has brought the God who once gradually unveiled his countenance first to Abraham, then to Moses and the prophets, and then in the wisdom literature�the God who showed his face only in Israel, even though he was also honored among the pagans in various shadowy guises.� More by Pope Benedict $24.95
	Theology of the Body for Beginners Christopher West WYD SYD 08 HIGHLIGHT: GOOD NEWS ABOUT SEX & MARRIAGE According to 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 human body is a 'theology' because it is meant to be a sign of God's own life and love in the world. With clarity and precision, Christopher West unpacks John Paul II's Theology of the Body, translating it into a language everyone can understand. Theology of the Body for Beginners explores the profound interconnections between sex and the deepest questions of human existence, including: What is the meaning of life? Why did God create us male and female? How do we attain true happiness on earth? What kind of joys await us in heaven? Why is there evil in the world and how do we overcome it? How can we experience the love we long for in the depth of our hearts? More by Christopher West $18.95
	If You Really Loved Me Jason Evert WYD SYD 08 HIGHLIGHT: 100 QUESTIONS ON DATING, RELATIONSHIPS, AND SEXUAL PURITY Have you ever asked yourself. . . - Why should I wait for marriage to have sex? - How far is too far? - How do I say 'no'? - What if we really love each other? - How do I find the right spouse? - How do I start over? - What about safe sex? - How do I know if this is love? These days, virgins may be embarrassed by their lack of 'experience' while non-virgins may feel that it's too late for them. Men and women of all ages feel compelled to 'take their relationships to the next level' - meaning they think it's time to have sex, not to try on wedding rings. Chastity author and speaker Jason Evert addresses these issues, and dozens more, in If You Really Loved Me: 100 Questions on Dating, Relationships, and Sexual Purity. The questions in this landmark work are the most common ones Evert is asked when speaking about the virtue of chastity in hundreds of Catholic, Evangelical Christian, and public schools. His humorous, friendly, and blunt approach opens hearts and minds to a topic often either rejected out of hand or misunderstood. Teens will find this book a useful guide to starting a relationship, deciding one's vocation, one day finding a potential spouse, and maintaining purity - without forsaking love. This book will give parents and educators new insights to help teens know the difference between love and lust. They may even look at their own lives differently, because as Evert explains, chastity is not only for singles; married couples must practice this virtue as well. More by Jason Evert $17.95
