Earlier, we had discussed different faith topics and I mentioned how one of the few teachings of the church I was having a horrible time understanding was the teaching on artificial contraception. I understood why it was bad before marriage (cause you shouldn't be having sex anyways), but I couldn't understand why married couples shouldn't use it. Nobody: not my catholic school, my priest at mass, my parents, or my friends had ever taught this subject to me. She quickly tossed "The Good News About Sex and Marriage" over to me and told me it would help to explain everything. While she was out, I read the entire book, cover to cover, and that was the beginning of understanding the Church's teaching on all things about sexuality. I definitely recommend it for its straightforward answers and the broad spectrum of topics!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06478837043080098087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063950843370333843.post-18885615902495119542011-07-22T02:59:57.184-04:002011-07-22T02:59:57.184-04:00I absolutely love Kimberly Hahn and that book!

Great list!<br /><br />Just stopping over (really, really insanely late in the evening...or morning) to say 'hello!' Have a great weekend!Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06319545333588899129noreply@blogger.com
