What others have said about the NFPI manual.
Just today, Feb. 25, 2014: Great book. Super helpful. Thank you so much for offering a downloadable version, was what I needed right at that moment! …although, next time I think I’ll get the hardbound, easier to read and share. 🙂
My fiancee would like to use NFP once we are married, and your downloadable manual has already been a huge help to us. We found the manual thorough yet easy to understand, and appreciate the inclusion of the subjects of morality and theology.
The NFP manual I downloaded off your website is so easy to follow. My husband and I have been using an IUD for the last six years after the birth of our second child. We had tried NFP at the beginning of our marriage, but were disappointed with the little support we received when trying to learn NFP. We were introduced to the Billings Ovulation Method through our Diocese and were not even aware that the Sympto-Thermal Method existed. We got pregnant 4 months into our marriage and didn’t even finish the 3rd class. While our little bundle of joy came to us sooner than we had planned we accepted her with great joy!!! However, because of a lack of understanding of the basic tenants of our Catholic faith, we had fallen away. My husband and I, by the grace of God, have recently come back into the Catholic faith and are excited to fully participate!
I appreciate this manual so much! I have obviously been living in my body my whole life and somehow this manual has made my body seem like a whole new world of wonderful functions that God planned as only God can. The biology and theology included is immensely helpful! I see how God really did think of everything and that His plan is perfect. It makes me feel like I really am part of a bigger plan and that’s a really good feeling!
Excellent manual! Thank you so much for providing this manual online and at such a reasonable cost.
I used the NFP method once before and it worked well. I am looking forward to using it again as a form of natural birth control. Thank you so much for offering the manual free to everyone who needs it!!!
When I read your manual and the covenant theology, it was like it just logically laid out exactly how I felt about the issue of birth control and what I had felt God speaking to me, but couldn’t explain. My husband read about one page of your manual, and that was it. We are never using birth control again. He understands that it is unbiblical and ethically wrong, and, just like that, my 3-year prayer is answered. I can’t thank you enough for what you do, and I will continue to help you get the word out about NFP and God’s plan for sexuality in marriages.
Natural Family Planning: The Complete Approach ought to be mandatory training for every couple who wants to get married in the Catholic Church. There is a wealth of information here that Catholics simply do not know about. I try to get information about Natural Family Planning International out to as many people as possible. This site is invaluable. Over and over I see people talking about NFP without eco-breastfeeding or proper sexual morality. Everyone (Catholic or not) needs to hear about this. Thank you once again for all of your wonderful work.
Thank you for putting the manual out there. I’m tired of trying to remember to dig for the book when the charting is not perfectly “normal”. Now with it on my Nook there will be no excuses! My husband and I wrestled with the issue of NFP for 20 years of marriage. I am happy to say that now that we have both decided on an unswerving coarse of obedience to the Church’s teachings, the blessings have become so apparent within our marriage.

Natural Family Planning: The Complete Approach is available in ebook. About half the commercial sales of this manual are by ebook (Nook, Ingram, iBookstore). To learn NFP well, take the NFPI home study course which costs less and provides more information than most other online NFP courses.
