I was looking for a more “to the point” approach. This book is filled with a lot of elementary type suggestions disquised by big words and much overkill. I can see where it might benefit a couple whom are very early in their faith journey but for those of us whom are progressing nicely this book just doesn’t cut it.

It arrived towards the very end of the delivery time, but it did arrive within that window. It was a gift, so I’m not sure about the condition of the book when it arrived. Thanks!

In his book, “Holy Sex: A Catholic Guide to Toe-Curling, Mind Blowing Infallible Loving,” Dr. Greg Popcak expertly dispels the long-held societal myth that the Catholic Church teaches that sex is bad. He explains that the Church teaches that marital sex open to life can actually be holy, satisfying and “mind blowing.”
And, despite the fact that this book has “Catholic” in its title, it is not just for Catholics. Every married couple interested in having a great sex life would benefit from this wonderfully candid book.
Dividing his book into four parts, in Part I, he introduces the truths of what he calls “Infallible Loving.” Part II gives the tools to tap into what he calls “The Five Powers of Holy Sex,” and how readers can learn how to celebrate the sacred, redemptive, heavenly, uniting and creative nature of holy sex. Part III gives readers the necessary information to apply the principles of holy sex to their marriages. Part IV offers practical guidance to overcome sexual problems and challenges.
As an NFP teacher for many years, I already knew much of what was included in this book, but I still found it to be extremely helpful. The author’s humor and candor are particularly entertaining. Anecdotal stories of real couples from the author’s experience as a marriage counselor make this a most interesting and compelling read.
It is explicit in parts and therefore recommended for mature readers. However, I highly recommend this outstanding book to any couple who truly wants to experience sacred sexuality.

I love this book. I recommend it for anyone who wants to know how to live out “Theology of the Body” with their spouse.

This book is strong in both its theological explanations and practical advice. I highly recommend that all married couples read it.
