Thanks. Have you taken or taught any of the classes by Christopher West?

I think they are outstanding.

No, I haven’t but I am very familiar with this beautiful theology.

Christopher West is why my husband is Catholic. We watched the videos during our marriage prep, and West explained Catholic moral teachings so throughly, my husband said it just made sense for him to convert, he already believed.

We have many of his book series. I have been to several classes and presentations by Christopher. My wife attended a week long course with him at his Institute in Pennsylvania. He is the real deal and IMO has been given special gifts of communication (singing, teaching, passion, etc.) and knowledge for this particular mission to make the teaching of JPII's TOB come alive for the world.

George Weigel got it exactly right:

the theology of the body is “a kind of theological time bomb set to go off with dramatic consequences ... perhaps in the twenty-first century” ... (Witness to Hope, 343).
