So, you've decided to use Natural Family Planning.
Has it blessed your marriage? Deepened your respect for your body? Has it made your sex life fantastic?
Do you and your spouse hold hands at sunset, and do pink flowers grow around your marital bed?
If so, this book is not for you.
But if you've tried Natural Family Planning and have discovered that your life is now awful - or if you feel judged or judgey, or if you trust NFP but your doctor doesn't, or if just you're trying to figure out how the heck to have a sex life that is holy but still human - you'll find comfort, encouragement, honesty, wit, and, most importantly, practical advice in The Sinner's Guide to NFP.
In a series of funny, frank, and profound essays, popular Catholic blogger and mother of nine Simcha Fisher shows what it's really like to practice NFP, and how to achieve those fabled "marriage building" benefits.
The Sinner's Guide to NFP helps you with:
- NFP and your spiritual life
- NFP and the rest of the world
- NFP in the trenches
An easy and lively read, thoroughly grounded in orthodox Catholic theology, this book is packed with refreshingly frank insights about sex, love, and marriage. The next time you ask yourself, "If NFP is wonderful, why am I so miserable?" - don't panic. The Sinner's Guide to NFP is here to help.

Wish I had this book years ago

I wish I would have read it at the beginning of my NFP journey, and I believe this book should be recommended to Catholic couples at the start of their commitment. It is true that most of the teachings out there on NFP focus on the (real!) positive aspects of the method; and I feel that glossing over the real challenges makes couples unprepared to face the true nature of NFP. Couples who face challenges can then feel like they are failing. And because sexuality is such a sensitive and personal topic, they may not realize that their trials are normal and that there are ways to better their experience.
Simcha Fisher has gifted us with a brilliant, thought-provoking, heart-opening - and funny - contribution to the conversation on NFP. Don't miss it!

If you could sum up The Sinner's Guide to Natural Family Planning in three words, what would they be?
Friendly, Practical, HelpfulWhat other book might you compare The Sinner's Guide to Natural Family Planning to and why?
I wouldn't compare it. That is the point. This is in a class all of its own and badly needed.Which character – as performed by Simcha Fisher – was your favorite?
Herself.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. And more or less did. I felt like we were having coffee together.Any additional comments?
This is a truly excellent offering from Simcha. I am naturally predisposed to disliking Simcha. I respect her, I enjoy her wit, I appreciate that she tackles tough topics but I also feel that she too often borders on the vulgar, the crass, the disrespectful and the banal. She simply is not my style. I don't object to her morally or socially but I also don't feel terribly uplifted or inspired by her writing either. This offering must be said to be the very best of her. She takes an incredibly difficult, often misunderstood and certainly uncomfortable topic and walks it out with the warmth, respect and skill of a venerable old mentor. She exudes understanding, respect, friendliness, joy and authenticity. My expectations were utterly outdone and I am so glad to have this in my library!What I love about this book is that it is neither prudish nor vulgar. It is funny. Warm. Informative. Inspirational. Practical. Packed full of understanding. She *does* say things that are as old as Adam and Eve but does so in a way that feels incredibly new, fresh and authentic. I particularly appreciate how PG this book is. I feel not only comfortable but compelled to give it to every bride at her bridal shower. There is nothing scandalous in here and her approach to explaining NFP is really what NFP is all about - communication between partners centered on genuine love and respect.

Just what I needed

I was raised Irish Catholic, and my mother, born in 1925, was the first not to die in childbirth in her maternal line. She and I both embraced feminism, atheism, and contraception! -- but we also learned to think like Jesuit intellectuals, and that never leaves you.
Simcha's honesty, self deprivation, humor, and bravery working within her religious framework speak to me on a metaphorical level that I couldn't resist. I approached her, as an editor, after reading her blog, and virtually BEGGED her to write a book, offering to edit it. You are now listening to the result! I think this is one of the most original works I've ever edited.
Anybody looking for a best girlfriend to guide them through the tears, rigors, and rewards of the only Church-sanctioned birth control method has come to the right place. And anyone, like myself, who appreciates great writing and warm humor can stay too. But more than that, if you've ever been in a relationship where you made a SACRIFICE....hello, everyone... then this book will speak to you in ways you don't expect.
As the exec producer on this title, I auditioned so many people to read it and NONE of them were right. I kept thinking, "how can I get Simcha to read this when she has nine children to take care of, many of them in short pants?" The answer is: babysitting.
So here you have it: my favorite new author and narrator. I want to thank her whole family for being so supportive because it is worth every minute!
Irresistible Even If You Completely Disagree

NFP is hard AND rewarding and this book can help the reader glimpse more of the rewarding part.
As a mother of 5, with twins as the last 2, I appreciate that the book was thorough, but not too overwhelming to get through. I will be considering Simcha’s words as I continue on this journey of marriage and motherhood.
Refreshing
