NEW TITLES Contraception: Cracking the Myths . In this new revised edition of Professor Janet Smith’s Pray, Educate, Serve expose on the effects of the pill on modern groundbreaking society, she presents a God-centered view of sexuality that can bring married couples a joy that they could have never imagined. Backed by statistics and armed with decades of research, Prof. Smith shows the crippling effect of the contraceptive culture on our relationship with God, our romantic relationships and marriages, the culture at large and our physical and mental health. Parishioner comments: A must have! It should be required listening material for those who are called to educate and lead in this Millennium…Imee Any man who wants to protect the lady he loves should investigate the facts presented in this talk….Kelly CWL FALL WORKSHOP ST.
