As I have Loved You/Gerard O'Shea

As I Have Loved You is a much needed resource for parents. Using easy to understand language and graphics, it offers parents advice and materials for training their own children in a well integrated sexuality according to the mind of the Church. The inspiration for this book comes from Pope John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, and the specific teaching of the Pontifical Council for the Family’s document, “Truth and Meaning of Human Sexuality.” The materials have been trialled for the past eight years, and have been used in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA and Britain.

Gerard O’Shea is Senior Lecturer in Religious Education and Family Ministry at the John Paul II Institute of Marriage and Family, Melbourne. Prior to this, he was a Catholic school principal for fifteen years.  Gerard and his wife Anne have five children and two grandchildren. They have served as president couple of the National Association of Catholic Families.
