Purchase options and add-ons

In twenty-six short topical chapters, teens and young adults share their questions and real-life experiences about sexual relationships. Their questions range from "How far is too far?" to "What's wrong with cohabitation?" Two questions posed by many people of all ages both within and outside the Church are also treated: "Chastity sounds nice, but is it practical?" and "What do the Bible and celibate men know about sex anyway?"

Teens will find A Case for Chastity a readable and informative book, and their parents and teachers, particularly catechists and DREs, will find it an invaluable resource.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"This book is a must read for all Catholic teens and for those who work with them. Heather and Peter speak from their lived experience of chastity, and their inner joy and freedom proclaims a powerful message of hope to our youth. We owe it to our teens to offer them the truth about their sexuality, the truth that will lead them into Gospel freedom. To anyone who is in a serious dating relationship, I highly recommend that you give this book to your dating partner because it will make a clear statement about the kind of life you wish to live. I highly recommend this book because it is so real about human sexuality and God's grace."

Most Reverend Robert J. Hermann
Auxiliary Bishop of St. Louis

    Very good book for our teenagers to read. Sometimes it's difficult to talk to them about everything in this book, so it's much easier to tell them to read ..and they enjoy it!

    Just the cover will peak their interest! A total MUST for teens (if you think your teen is too young, think again! They already get 'filled-in' at school!). All things discussed with Catholic Values at the core... Every house with a Catholic teen should have this book!

    Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2008
    Verified Purchase
    A must read for teenagers AND for their parents. It speaks forthrightly and factually and does not shy away from the reality of teenage sexuality as experienced in this day and age. Scare tactics are not used to present chastity as the solution. Instead, chastity is the resulting positive choice one can make when presented with the beauty, richness, depth, true purpose and meaning of the God-given gift of sexuality.

    5.0 out of 5 stars excellent
    Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2005
    As a youth minister, I am aware that very few teens really understand the virtue of chastity; they tend to think that the Christian position on the topic of sexuality is simply 'don't do it'. In this book, Gallagher and Vlahutin clearly articulate the many reasons WHY we should live this virtue of chastity. Anyone who reads this book with an open mind will, I believe, become convinced that God's plan for our sexuality is for our good and makes sense. I recommend this book on many different levels - a great gift for teens as they struggle through the turbulent adolescent years, a welcome addition to any library (secular or religious), and a must read for parents - since in my work I have found that very few parents understand the virtue of chastity, and therefore find it nearly impossible to articulate a message of sexual purity to their teens.

    I read this book cover to cover before handing it over to my 13 year old daughter. It was a no-nonsense approach to chastity. It gives them something to look forward to, something to hold out for; real love!
