Book Reviews of Theology of His Body / Theology of Her Body
Book Review: Good book
Summary: 4 Stars
I am looking for a book to use in a 6 week sexuality component for our 8th grade faith formation class. I was desperately hoping that this book would be it, but it's not. Jason Evert does a wonderful job of touching on all the topics that we want to cover...modesty, chastity, sexuality, image of God, etc. The book is also short which wouldn't make it appear intimidating to kids who are being introduced to Theology of the Body. The problems that I had with the book are:
1) The abundance of quotes became annoying. Many of these quotes were by people the kids won't know and after reading them the kids' response would be "what does that mean"? I would have rather just seen a simple explanation of the point that was being made without the quote.
2) the vocabulary and imagery in Theology of the Body is hard for adults to grasp let alone 8th graders. While this book is much easier to understand than JPII's writing, it still is a bit much for young teens who are experiencing these "radical" ideas for the first time.
This would be a great book for a high school introduction to TOB (which may be who Jason Evert was intending it for), but, sadly, many middle school kids are following our culture's lead in thinking sex=love and need to hear this message NOW! I hope someone will write a TOB book geared toward young teens soon.
