The Facts of Life

by Brian Clowes, PhD

The Facts of Life is a comprehensive reference guide that is intended to answer basic questions on a variety of life issues. It has been distributed all over the world in both print and electronic formats, and the print version has been translated into German, Spanish, Korean, Italian and Portuguese.

Father Paul Marx, O.S.B., 50-year pro-life veteran and founder of Human Life International, has called it "The last word on pro-life/pro-family issues ... Truly a complete manual for all those promoting life and the family." The Facts of Life has also been highly recommended by Joseph Scheidler, President of the Pro-Life Action League, reformed abortionist Bernard Nathanson, M.D., and well-known pro-life activist Rabbi Yehuda Levin.
