Complete guide to health

I love Dr. King and this book! Such helpful, up front and easy to read information, finally from a Christian perspective. I'll be buying it for all my female family and friends!

comprehensive

This book is a great resource to mothers who have daughters entering puberty, women who are single, the newly married looking for answers to birth control, the expectant mother, the soccer mom, and the menopausal woman. It covers all these topics and more in a safe Christian environment. The physicians who wrote this use easy-to-understand language that feels like you are having a consultation with a trusted gynecologist. It is a great resource to have in your home.

Completely informative from cover to cover

In a book that is unabashedly honest, biblically based and easy to read, Drs. Farhart and King broach the sometimes hard-to-talk-about topics that affect women of all ages. The authors have taken a chronological approach, addressing women's health from the onset of puberty to concerns facing geriatric women. Each section deals with women at different stages in their lives and covers topics like Sex and the Single Woman; The Married Woman, Pregnancy, infertility causes and some treatments as well as midlife health concerns. Christian women are often at a disadvantage when it comes to finding answers to their intimate questions. Where do they go to get good sound advice? Too often they are embarrassed to ask their doctor or pastor for fear of being thought a 'bad' Christian and so questions go unanswered. This book sets out to fulfill that need in Christian circles. The authors approach all the chapters and topics with a deep respect and love for the word of God, and everything they share can be solidly backed by His Word. Passion is definitely one word that describes the two people who put this book together. Their passion for women and their overall health pervades the pages. I recommend you buy a copy for yourself, and then for any girl or woman in your life -- we can all benefit from the information contained in its pages.
