Reviews

<br> Readers of Wolfe's I Am Charlotte Simmons or Freitas' Sex and the Soul will wish to provide Charlotte and current students with this Jesuit's compelling response to the alcohol-drenched hook-up culture. The dominant friends-with-benefits model of shallow romantically unsatisfying sex meets its match in this wise advocacy of the till-death-do-us-part promise. Piderit presents a convincing account of sexual temperance conducive to lasting intimacy and the satisfaction of deep human desires. <br>--Thomas A. Cavanaugh, author of Double-Effect Reasoning: Doing Good and Avoiding Evil<br><p><br>

Author Information

Fr. Piderit served as president of Loyola University Chicago from 1993 to 2001. He is now the president of the Catholic Education Institute, a group which seeks new ways to educate Catholics, both at the secondary and the tertiary level.
