Catholic Guide to Being Human

From the first breath of Genesis to the final hope of heaven, what does it really mean to be human? In A Catholic Guide to Being Human, master teacher and theologian John S. Grabowski leads readers on a compelling journey through Scripture, Tradition, and the wisdom of the saints to rediscover the astonishing dignity of the human person. Drawing on the vision of St. John Paul II, Grabowski shows that we are not cogs in an economic machine, raw material for technology, or problems to be solved—but beloved sons and daughters created in the image of a Triune God. Against the dehumanizing pressures of the sexual revolution, scientism, consumerism, and emerging biotechnologies, this book offers a clear, hopeful account of who we are as: embodied souls called to communion, stewards and priests of creation, persons redeemed in Christ and destined for glory. Engaging stories, cultural analysis, and solid theology converge to answer the deepest questions of our age: Who am I? What is my body for? How do freedom, love, and truth belong together? A Catholic Guide to Being Human is an invitation to stand in wonder before the mystery of your own life—and to live every day in the radiant truth of your God-given dignity.
