Freedom to Love (Theology of the Body for Young Adults) by Christopher West  - $50 BOND

The world tells us that freedom is the ability to do what we want, whenever we want, with whomever we want. But has this led to strong relationships, strong families, or strong communities? Since the days of the “sexual revolution,” the opposite has played out. Sexual chaos, exploitation, broken families, and a lot of pain have been the result of “freedom.”  In this powerful, five-part study for young adults, 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.  It can be used in a variety of settings such as young adult groups, class rooms, home bible studies, confirmation preparations and prayer meetings.  It comes with training manuals, print resources for each of the 5 sessions with accompanying presentations on DVD.  The $50 bond is fully refundable on return of the resources.
