great--especially for FAM/NFP newcomers January 9, 2009
This book is great at getting you started with the charting in a practical manner. If you want a fuller knowledge of the method (and I recommend becoming as educated as you can), read Toni Wechsler's book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility". I'm relatively new to the method, but after going through both books, I am confident in using this method as birth control. It also has healthy, natural recipes in it, which I liked.
Clearest NFP Book I've Read August 24, 2008
This guide is written very clearly. I am no student of science and, unfortunately, many Natural Family Planning books read like biology text books! If you've been put off by other NFP guides, or are confused about checking different fertility signs, you may want to get a copy of Honoring Our Cycles. An added bonus are the charts right in the back so you can refer to the "rules" very easily if needed.
Great for beginners, pretty cover.

Gentle Encouragement, Firm Confidence February 26, 2008

Katie Singer shares her plethora of knowledge in HONORING OUR CYCLES: A NATURAL FAMILY PLANNING WORKBOOK FOR KNOWING WHICH DAYS YOU CAN AND CAN'T GET PREGNANT.
I've been practicing Natural Family Planning (NFP) with success for several years and I know that many women hesitate to embrace NFP or Fertility Awareness because they are afraid to trust the method. With her gentle encouragement and ease of communication, Singer's confidence in the accuracy of fertility awareness transfers to the readers - at least it did for me.
It's very important to gain confidence in NFP if you are going to rely upon it. The examples helped clarify various issues and scenarios. I also learned a new technique by reading this book: the "coverline."
The cover design is so enticing that my teenage daughters were intrigued with HONORING OUR CYCLES. I highly recommend this book.

 Simple, Clear Information October 12, 2007

This book was a very quick and simple read--I think that is one of the book's main strengths, it is written in very clear, basic English (maybe a sixth grade reading level?). However, it also makes it somewhat stilted or somehow "off" to read it though because it IS so simplistically written (makes you feel like you are none-too-bright or something! LOL!). Anyway, to be totally honest, one of the only reasons I wanted this book is because I'm so enraptured by the cover. I just love it. I think it is a beautiful, wonderful book cover.
The book is about using fertility awareness to avoid or promote pregnancy The book is clear and easy to follow. It contains some inaccurate breastfeeding information, which I'm very sensitive to--including such odd comments as, "sometimes, when a mother is away from her baby for an afternoon or more, her milk dries up." Huh?! This is where the overly simplistic approach does not succeed, because it is NOT correct (in this case).
I'm very interested and excited right now by fertility awareness--how coolly and magically women's bodies indicate where they are in their fertility cycle. I am regretful that I spend so many years hormonally manipulating my cycle rather than just paying attention to my own body (which clearly communicates with me). so, this book reinforced this "magic-ness." I guess I would recommend it to others. There is a certain "spark" missing because it is so basic (I think it is designed for use with low-literacy populations). That gorgeous cover makes up for a lot though! ;-)
