A Catholic Handbook for Engaged and Newly Married Couples

Product Description

"The HANDBOOK is outstanding both for its practicality and for its fidelity to the Catholic faith." -- Fr. Kenneth Baker, S.J., Editor, Homiletic and Pastoral Review

"Dr. Marks fills a deep void in the current literature with his brisk but wide-ranging CATHOLIC HANDBOOK. It is a pleasure to read and refreshingly forthright in presenting Chruch teacing." - Very Rev. Peter M. Stravinskas, Editor, The Catholic Answer

"There is a great need for such a handbook, and Dr. Marks has done an excellent job of presenting the Church's teachings in an entertaining yet uncompromising style." -- Anne W. Carroll, Catholic educator and author of 'Christ the King: Lord of History'

"I very much applaud what Dr. Marks has done, which is to tackle certain subjects that are often skirted: for example, the effects of living together before marriage, the wisdom of breaking off an engagement at even the last minute if uncertain, and objections to birth control." -- Fr. James Torrens, S.J., Former Associate Editor, America magazine
