"This book is an easy read and would be a great tool to help couples discern about using NFP. Dr. Kafie provides a voice of how women/couples respond to using NFP from her work with couples -- even a voice to those who are struggling with its use - especially in our contraceptive/sterilization emersed culture. Health professionals who provide NFP services would also find this book helpful."

Please share this book with your priest and your parish, your NFP coordinators and practitioners, every young man and women discerning marriage, and any faithful person willing to read it!"

"Dr. Kafie provides theological, medical, and practical information for Catholics in a down-to-earth manner, while at the same time providing a detailed and honest look at NFP. Without sugarcoating the realities of its use, she helps couples see the absolute beauty and value NFP serves in fertility planning.
