Fill These Hearts

West delivers a powerful book on sexual longing based on the Theology of the Body . . .

Fill These Hearts
Christopher West
Image Books, 2013
224 pages, $24.99 hardcover

Subtitled God, Sex, and the Universal Longing, West’s latest is a book about desire — not trivial wants or superficial cravings, but the most vital powers of body and soul. Weaving together lessons from the Christian mystical tradition and classical and contemporary art, West explores the idea that the yearnings we feel in both our bodies and spirits reveal our heart’s cry for God.

He blows the lid off the idea that Christianity is a repressive, anti-sex religion by showing that Christ came to inflame our desire for love and union to the point of infinity.
