Customer Reviews

Great cover led me to buy the book

I'll admit to judging this book (and buying it) based on its cover and I'm glad I did. Dr. DeMarco makes a case against contraception from a health, spiritual, and natural law perspective. I really enjoyed his many references to popular culture (Back to the Future, The Wizard of Oz, etc.) and I thought the best chapter was the one on the Catholic Church's teachings on contraception. A couple of criticisms though: the misspellings and grammatical errors kind of throw you off when you see them while you're reading. Also, DeMarco has a tendency of making statements like "It is well established scientifically..." and "There is virtual universal agreement that...", but doesn't provide any supporting evidence. I can see if you were reading the book from a skeptical perspective how those establishing sentences wouldn't be very satisfying. However, I did enjoy the book and would recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about the case against contraception.

The cover art alone says it all!

Drawing upon a variety of resources, Scripture, and cultural examples Dr. Donald DeMarco presents a solid case for contraception's damaging effects upon individuals, marriages, and society as a whole. His message is not one heard in the popular media of the day.Philosophical, yet practical, the book demonstrates that knowledge and true love (not contraceptive love) are the cure for the "Culture of Death" in which we find ourselves.Highly recommended!
