An Introduction to the Theology of the Body: Discovering the Master Plan for your Life is an eight-part series by Christopher West on Pope John Paul's Theology of the Body.  It imparts a total vision of the Catholic faith that addresses some of the most fundamental and important questions of human existence, including

• Where do we come from and why?
• What is the meaning of life? How do we experience it?
• Why is there evil in the world and how do we overcome it?
• Why were we created male and female? 
• What is God's original plan for marriage and sexuality?

This eight-part, four-hour DVD series presented by Christoph West is designed to give you a solid understanding of God’s plan for humanity—a plan stamped right into our bodies. 

About the Study:

Based on John Paul II’s revolutionary teaching and presented by world-renowned speaker and author Christopher West, The Gift is a comprehensive system designed to lay a firm foundation for those who desire to incorporate the Theology of the Body into their daily lives.

An Introduction to the Theology of the Body: Discovering the Master Plan for Your Life, is an eight-part, four-hour study designed to give you a solid understanding of God’s plan for humanity—a plan stamped right into our bodies.

Most people have heard the "whats" of Catholic teaching, but very few have ever heard the "whys." With profound insight, Christopher West demonstrates that the Church’s teaching on sex and marriage "makes sense", and, in fact, is the "logic" of Christianity—because it corresponds perfectly with the deepest stirrings and desires of the human heart. This study is for everyone searching for their ultimate purpose in life.

Participants will:

• Learn why the redemption of our sexuality is the key to happiness.
• Develop a "new lens" through which to see the world with greater clarity.
• See how God’s mystery is revealed through the body and spousal love.
• Discover the truth behind the lies of lust and pornography and how they can be overcome.
• Learn the language of sexual love.
  ...and much more.
