Crusades Rediscovered: In the Light of Human Sexuality and Our Creator

Brendan Roberts explores the five major Crusades and gives a no-holds barred depiction of the evil perpetrated by every side in the battles. Then he explores how we reflect the nature of God, through morality and our human sexuality.

Think of this book as Pope Francis meets Osama bin Laden. For it is about reconciliation, forgiveness, love and the struggle of goodness vs. evil. It portrays how Pope John Paul II sought forgiveness for members of the Church who perpetrated ghastly evils; the groundbreaking initiatives fostering reconciliation with the Orthodox Church; and as a Catholic layperson Brendan grasps the unique opportunity to ask forgiveness of the Orthodox Church, Muslims and Jews for the evil perpetrated by members of the Catholic Church during the Crusades.

Other topics covered include morality, God's presence and action in the world, lust, whether the world is overpopulated, Revelation, the mercy of God, prayer, God's love, love as self-gift (marriage), Theology of the Body and the divine Eucharist. Brendan also covers why the Catholic Church is against contraception used to block life and why the Church is against abortion. He lists the fascinating research undertaken of the affects of abortion on the physical and psychological health of the mother.

Brendan uses a down to earth style to inspire people that our awesome God truly loves them and wants the best for us all. This book will undoubtedly challenge you and help deepen your faith in a loving and interpersonal God.
