5.0 out of 5 stars Most complete book available, Feb 29 2004
Most previous reviewers agree that this book has what they are looking for, possibly mixed with some things they aren't. Don't all reference books include things we're not looking for? With any other text, we happily skim through the information not pertinant to ourselves and weed out the information we already know. It's easy enough to do with this book too. I guess the controversy surrouning the "extras" make it an issue with this book, but like it or not, the "extra" stuff is indeed related to the main topic at hand and not out of place in the text.
This book was written specifically for those of the Catholic faith, and does indeed have the appropriate religious slant that other reviewers mention. It was also written for the "Dr. Sears groopies," as I like to 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 whole-heartedly that using the current scientific understanding of the female fertility cycle is enough to avoid pregnancy. This is not something that can be attempted with just SOME information. I've seen other books that only include part of what's necesary (apparently the authors think it's enough for you to know) and I've seen people give up on studying this topic as a result. Even if you're not Catholic, and/or not a "Dr. Sears groopie," you will still get more information that you ARE looking for from this book than any other.

5.0 out of 5 stars This NFP book is clear, complete, easy, and VERY effective!, Jan 16 2004
By "catholicmom2" (Billings area, MT United States) - See all my reviews
I taught myself the sympto-thermal method (STM) of NFP 5 years ago by using this book. My cycles were so irregular -- varying from 24 to 54 days -- and the "symptoms" of my infertile periods used to be minimally existent (advise from both this book and the organization that serves as "customer support" for this book -- the Couple to Couple League -- helped me figure out how to "straighten out" my cycles and fertility signs), so other methods of NFP didn't work very well for me and I had to rely very heavily on the temperature sign as described by this book. It's been wonderful! My husband & I have used it for 5 years with no "unexpected blessings" (i.e., no "unwanted" pregnancies). I cannot recommend this book highly enough!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book - Teaches a Healthy AND Natural method!, Nov 18 2003
By A Customer
John Kippley's book was wonderful and is kept at our bedside at all times! In this book, Kippley teaches that the NFP method is a wonderfully effective and healthy way to plan your family AND avoid unnecessarily entering chemicals and syntheics into your body. This book teaches the technical "how to's" of the NPF methodology, but also backs the teachings up with citations from Medical Docotors, Families, Church Leaders and the Humanae Vitae document. Kippley's book was a part of my wife and my marriage preparation - And 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!
Go Kippley - Thank you so much! ! ! ! ! ! !
