Gosh, so this has survived to go into further editions, has it?
I hope they’ve dropped the authors’ pro-male dominance & female submissiveness rants (this translates as “every time he wants sex, you let him have it, and don’t worry your pretty little head about it because it’s what the baby Jesus wants you to do”) which were actively disowned by the UK publishers.
But I bet they haven’t.

I see that some people were helped by this book. I would not recommend this book for someone who has not experienced sex. The advice to virgins was disgusting. The writers say that the sexual act is not natural and that people need help enjoying it. The writer also suggests techniques of preparation for the virgin the month before that most assuredly would either lead to depending on yourself for fulfillment or it would train a young lady to not be responsive. I thought the book was sick. It turns women into an object of function. It also talks about men being 100% head of the household and women being 100% submissive. The authors are a husband and wife but I can’t hear a woman’s voice anywhere in this book. The cover is pretty so she probably had something to do with that. I’m sure she submitted completely to him in the writing of this book and that is why it is completely clinical and even crude.

If you are a practicing Catholic, and are thinking of buying this book, you should know it promotes birth control, many forms of which cause aboritions. I am returning the book for this reason.
Rating: 2 / 5
A dear friend recommended this book to us. Upon receipt I immediately turned to the section on pregnancy and birth control as I am an avid supporter of the protection of the unborn babies in our world. I was HORRIBLY dissapointed at the presentaiton of the material in this section. This is supposed to be a ‘Christian’ book yet they used terms like ‘fertilized egg’ instead of baby to explain the way that birth control pills can prevent the implantation of a baby into the womans womb. They even say that if that occured it wouldn’t be an abortion of a baby. Any basic sex ed class teaches that fertilization occurs BEFORE the egg reaches the womb; actually occuring in the fallopian tubes. Needless to say I CANNOT recommend this book for any person seeking Biblical teaching on planning a family. “Children are a reward from the Lord” and “Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them” Psalms
