A Case for Chastity: The Way to Real Love and True Freedom for Catholic Teens

Chastity is that better way. Through chastity, all of us -- men and women, single and married -- can experience the best that God has in store for our lives. We can experience friendships that are fulfilling, marital sex that is satisfying, and relationships that are loving -- all through the practice of chastity. Whether the questions are: How far is too far? What about pornography? What if I've already had sex? How can I experience true freedom? Is chastity practical? How do I practice it? What does the Church know about sex? this book by chastity educators Heather Gallagher and Peter Vlahutin answers these questions and more. A Case for Chastity, written as a result of bringing the message of chastity to thousands of teens and young adults, uses real-life stories as the evidence that chastity, and only chastity, is the approach to sex that leads to real love and true freedom.
