Contraception: Cracking the Myths

Prof. Janet Smith

In this new revised edition of Professor Janet Smith's groundbreaking exposé on the effects of the pill on modern 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.

From Love, By Love, For Love

Father Michael Schmitz tackles some of the most difficult topics in the Church today. With compassion, clarity, and humor, he shows that the Church's teachings on contraception and same-sex attraction are rooted in the yearnings for authentic love that is shared by all, who are made in the image and likeness of God.

 

Humor and inspired teaching make this one of the best talks for Catholics I have ever heard! Brad - Faribault, MN

He explains that while both religions trace themselves back to Abraham, the differences, including our understanding of God as Father, are not insignificant. With charity, balance, and candor, Dr. Hahn shows us how Islam presents the most formidable challenge to Christianity in the Third millennium.

Angels Explained: What You Should Know About the Nine Choirs

Angels Explained: What You Should Know About the Nine Choirs

Dr. Mark Miravalle - Professor of Theology and Mariology at Franciscan University of Steubenville - teaches on the fascinating subject of Angels. Why did God create angels? How are they different from humans? Are guardian angels found in Scripture? Discover the answer to these questions and many more as Dr. Mark Miravalle explains the nine choirs of angels, their differing roles and hierarchical order, and how much angels can help us if we only ask.

 

I liked the very concise & detailed explanation of how the angel studies were done by the Church, the history of the angels, all the different types of angels & their duties (good & bad), the hierarchies, tying info to scripture & tradition, the importance of talking/praying to our guardian angel daily, invoking the angels, going to Adoration, etc. Everyone likes angels, but I didn't realize there was so much info, & how to join the good side to fight the fallen angels!

Customer Comments


A must have! It should be required listening material for those who are called to educate and lead in this Millennium. Imee - Cypress, CA
Any man who wants to protect the lady he loves should investigate the facts presented in this talk. Kelly - Decatur, IL
An informative and timely presentation with an urgently needed message! Our youth still believe the myths about contraception, and Professor Smith dispels them with statistics and real-life stories. Julia - Mastic Beach, NY
Janet Smith is a wonderful speaker, and I thoroughly enjoyed her talk - from the biological explanations of a woman's cyle to the ramifications contraception has for the world. I've long been thinking that contraception is one of the main reasons for societal degradation, and now I believe it even more. Loved this talk! Miranda - Vegreville, AB
Paul - Louisville, KY
I have to say I had NO IDEA how contraception was the root of so much evil in our society today. Sold as the cure-all for 'what ails ya', the opposite is true. Mrs. Michael - Beacon, NY
Janet's Smith's talk is amazing. Her discussion of contraception is eye-opening and life-changing and targets an area of life that is in desperate need of illumination. I recommend that you give this talk the highest possible distribution. Her talk changed my life when I heard it years ago and, now that I have listened to this new third edition, the presentation is better than ever. James - Chicago, IL
The information and supporting documentation will be invaluable to me as I counsel my young nieces and granddaughters. East Berlin, PA
Very good information - a lot of things I wish I had heard 20 years ago. This needs to be told to more - keep up the excellent work. Martha - CA
I have listened to a few talks by Janet Smith. She is an extremely intelligent, yet accessible, speaker dealing with a topic that is particularly important to women. I have been impressed by every CD I've listened to from your library so far! Mary - Lake Barrington, IL
I learned many things that I did not know and, ever since I heard this talk, I've been teaching it to my two daughters and now they are starting to see things a lot more differently, and they are better prepared to fight peer pressure in high school where peer pressure is strong. Also the talk has united our family even more. Curiosity and the desire to know everything about their bodies has opened a huge door of communication within all the members of our family. Alvin - Enterprise, AL
The information in this talk was amazing and well-presented. I was able to listen to this CD and then make a sound argument against contraception to a co-worker who isn't Catholic in a way that was not offensive. Young people should hear this message! Martha - Kingsport, TN
This is the second time I have heard this talk. Years ago, I heard a tape of the original presentation "Contraception - Why Not." Not only did I like it, but I got my friends who were newly engaged to listen to it, and now they also use NFP. Janet Smith is a brilliant, engaging speaker. Jeff - Chicago, IL
This should be required listening for every Youth Group in the country, not to mention adult men and women. It gives you the information that the mainstream media is not reporting about research that shows not only the social disintegration but also the health issues caused by contraception. And it provides information about the natural way to control family size that is just as effective as the Pill, and more effective than many other contraceptive methods. Lea - NJ
Explained what was causing Homosexuality, why daughters go after loser boyfriends, and why girls today dress in immodest clothing. It also helps you identify who is on birth control easily. It all makes sense now, knowledge of this evil practice has the power to change the world. I highly recommend every parent and teen listen to this CD and advertise it to everyone and/or give it as a present to everyone. I can see why over 2 Million copies have been sold. Hopefully that number will become 2 Billion or higher. Jason - Magnolia, TX
The correlation of the use of contraception to the breakdown in relationships as well as exposing the health risks Shelby - IA
I enjoyed the statistical data on how contraception effects relationships and society. It has benefited me in giving me material to use when I talk with my family and friends. Luke - Portage, MI
I wanted to know the most current statistical data on the subject of contraception from a Catholic moral standpoint to evangelize members of my family, and the those within my sphere of influence as a catechist and as a concerned citizen of this world. Ignorance is truly detrimental to life and God's ultimate plan of redemption. Gloria - norman, OK
The doctor who presented this talk gave it in a very orderly way. Her reasons were compelling. This should be listened to by every couple preparing for the Sacrament of Marriage. I listened to the CD, and will sometime by the DVD. Mark Joseph - Lancster, CA
I am really looking to help teenagers in our community to understand the truth of the Catholic church and not go with the trend of what everyone else believes. One of the biggest challenges I face is trying to get them to understand the Concept of NFP vs Contraception. I find that this talk is a good starting point to do my research so that I can explain the importance of Avoiding contraception amongst our youngsters. Also I appreciate the handy slideshow to go with the lecture. Jessica - Mississauga, ON
I liked the facts and figures presented. My wife and I work with engaged couples for marriage prep and they will come in handy. ROB - Oklahoma City, OK
