BOOK REVIEWS FROM Amazon.com

"This book is the 'bible' of Natural Family Planning. It's the best book for a beginner to buy and it will guide you through your entire reproductive life."

"This book was written specifically for those of the Catholic faith. It was also written for the 'Dr. Sears groupies,' as I call them, who believe in nursing-on-demand, the family bed, etc. It was ALSO written for anyone looking to understand the female fertility cycle in its entirety. It covers this topic in every possible way, leaving NOTHING out. After all, they're trying to convince a generation of contraceptive users to quit popping pills, and instead believe wholeheartedly that using the current scientific understanding of the female fertility cycle is enough to avoid pregnancy."

"This NFP book is clear, complete, easy, and VERY effective! I taught myself the sympto-thermal method of NFP 5 years ago. My cycles were so irregular-varying from 24 to 54 days, so other methods of NFP did not work for me and I had to rely very heavily on the temperature sign as described in this book. It's been wonderful! My husband and I have used it for 5 years with no 'unexpected blessings.' I cannot recommend this book highly enough."

"We are so thankful for it! The NFP methodology has fostered a marriage based on daily communication, trust, self-restraint, courage and being healthy! What more can a 27-year-old husband and wife hope for! The methodology has been 100% effective for 4.5 years and we can't say enough good things about it."

"This book is an excellent source for any couple to improve their marriage. [NFP] is 99% effective for committed couples and it's immediately reversible and free also."

"This method works! I highly recommend it to all Catholics. It has the added benefit of helping you become more in touch with your faith and the beliefs of the Church."
