This book stands out,
This one is different. It’s frank, without being prurient. It’s clear. It’s written for grown-ups. And best of all, from its sound practical advice to its soaring theological reflection, it’s thoroughly Catholic.
Archbishop Chaput said it best: “Do the Church — and yourself — a favor: Read and reread this book. Encourage everyone you know to do the same.”

|Regaining Lost Virginity,
West does a fine job of showing how we can understand our nuptial life in marriage in the context of Baptism and the Eucharist. Of considering the nuptial embrace to be meant to occur in the light with eyes wide open, both spouses celebrating and reaffirming their vows over and over. After absorbing West’s work, I encourage you to delve into John Paul’s “The Theology of the Body” and “Love and Responsibility”.
I do like West stepping forward and away from the euphimisims that plague most Catholic texts on human sexuality. The Cathechism refers to “acts proper and exclusive to marriage”. West actually goes further and addresses parts of the genitalia and to oral and anal sex. He meets us where we are, i.e., in the midst of a culture that shows no reserve about sex and relationships. And helps one to sort it all out.
I do have one reservation about his book though. I sense that he is presenting the Pope’s teaching and his own views at the same time. But where does the Pope leave off and West continue? This is why I am also reading the Pope’s on words as well.
My wife and I have recently been reunited in our marriage of 32 years after an eight year separation. We have been so impressed with the Pope’s teaching as presented by West that we agreed to continue our marriage using this book as the basis for our sexual life.
One last note. Some may resist the Pope’s, indeed the Church’s, teaching on sex and marriage. Some may say that they must understand before they accept this teaching. Interestingly, wisdom does not work that way. Rather, I have learned to allow wisdom to embrace me and through this obedience I then understand its practicality and effectiveness. West’s book is wisdom presented very well!

|Great resource on Sex and Marriage,
The chapters of this book clearly build upon one another, starting with “The Great Mystery: Laying the Foundation.” Subsequent chapters cover Church Authority, Basics of Marriage, Chastity Outside of Marriage, Chastity within Marriage, Contraception, Reproductive Technologies, Same-Sex Attraction, and Sex and the Celibate Vocation.
I would highly recommend this book to parents, married or engaged couples, Catholic teachers, marriage preparation ministers, or anyone desiring to know more about authentic Catholic teaching on sex and marriage.
