Chapters include chastity within the married state, clear suggestions on how to tackle the predicament of homosexuality affecting some persons, plus specific advice on pornography.Far from finding in it a heavy treatise on moral theology, many readers have found in it a guide, together with encouragement, to live a clean life in our modern world.
