As I've traveled across the United States to speak about reclaiming God's plan for sexual health, I've often been asked if there is a book that covers the same information I present. I would respond that my material comes from a wide variety of books, studies, research projects, articles, anecdotal evidence, and other sources too numerous to name. Thus, I couldn't recommend just a single book. Well, now I can!

In Adam and Eve after the Pill: Paradoxes of the Sexual Revolution, Mary Eberstadt, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution, has synthesized massive amounts of data into one compelling book that provides detailed documentation, allowing the reader to delve deeper. It's a masterpiece that merges vast amounts of research into a concise picture of the devastating effects of the birth control pill and the sexual revolution it unleashed. It unveils the lies of a culture that aims to replace sex that is both unitive and procreative with purely recreational sex.

Shelton [Connecticut] Planned Parenthood office closed

The Planned Parenthood office in Shelton closed Friday, which at least one local health official called a "huge loss" for the region. The Shelton center, at 415 Howe Ave., was closed because "we made a decision to focus on the continued upgrade of our other existing centers," said Jenny Carrillo, senior vice president of external affairs and strategic planning for Planned Parenthood of Southern New England. Carrillo said the Shelton office is the only Planned Parenthood site in Connecticut closing. The organization, which provides abortions and access to birth control along with many other health services, is sometimes a target for funding cuts, but Carrillo said no such concerns played a role in shuttering the Shelton office. Rather, she said, it was a strategic decision to close one of the organization's smaller offices.
