Beauty Secrets of the Bible [Paperback]

Ginger Garrett (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 11, 2007

Every woman can accentuate her God-given beauty using the hidden treasures of the ancient Scriptures.

Ginger Garrett reveals how every woman can accent her God-given beauty using the hidden treasures of the ancient Scriptures-where every scent and every act of beautification had spiritual and emotional significance.
A woman's longing to present herself as physically beautiful is universal. Beauty is extolled throughout the Bible as complementing God's plan for women's lives. There are currently no books that examine the beauty practices of biblical women, the plants and products God created to accent their beauty, and the spiritual roots of feminine rituals.
Beautiful women abound in the Bible: Queen Esther, the bride of Solomon, Delilah, Rachel, Sarah, and more. Their beauty was a gift from God, and God also supplied the many foods, spices, and oils that perfected each woman's appearance. In Beauty Secrets of the Bible, Ginger Garrett helps readers accent their God-given beauty using these secrets.
Women who read the book will understand the essential oils and fragrances mentioned in Scripture (and why they are making a comeback) and will be able to create a regimen based on all-natural ancient products and techniques. Beauty Secrets of the Bible gives readers what other beauty books lack: the knowledge that a woman's unique earthly beauty is indeed a blessing from God that can be cultivated.

More About the Author

Hi friends,
I'm a novelist who occasionally turns my research into a nonfiction book for my readers. I have a special passion for history, with a love of women's history and biblical stories.
I began writing after a devastating car accident which plunged me into darkness, depression and fear. I was told I could never have children and began a journey through infertility and miscarriages. During this time, I could find nothing to comfort me on the bookshelves. I decided to write what I needed to read. One year later, I had an agent and a deal. (The book, Moments for Couples Who Long for Children, is out of print now and available only on my website, gingergarrett.com)
Since then, I have written novels about women in history that have forever touched our modern lives: Ane Boleyn, who fought to give us the right to read(Shadow of Lions), Queen Esther of Persia (Chosen: The Lost Diaries of Queen Esther), and the women who survived the terror of the Black Death (In the Arms of Immortals) plus the fascinating and powerful ancient beauty secrets of biblical lands (Beauty Secrets of the Bible).
My hope is that when you turn the last page of one of my books, you feel strengthened for the journey ahead and that I have found more than a reader: I hope I've found a friend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully refreshing in a barren world, January 10, 2008

I read this book within 3 hours and came out renewed!

My thought process on beauty reorganized & re prioritized thanks to her simple, Godly devotionals. And although I do make an effort to live healthy there are occasions when I'm tempted and give in to our commercialized garbage at the store...whether it be food,body care,clothes,etc.

I went shopping the day after I read the book and bought her beauty recommendations...all of them! ...food and all :) I should also add that while you read my review note that I'm bi-racial (bl/wh) and battle dry skin everywhere and have frizzy,bushy,slightly wavy hair. :)

It's only been a couple of days but I already feel better. I feel better just knowing that I have the absolute best yet surprisingly cheapest beauty routine that money can buy, my energy is up thanks to the organic nuts and raw honey and fruit, and my hair smells FABULOUS!! I ended up buying Aubrey Organics hair products and my scalp feels wonderfully fresh (no dandruff) and my hair is silky.

I used the facial wash recipe and followed with the honey & olive oil and within hours noticed that there was less redness. My pores shrank and my skin glowed! My favorite part was that I didn't have to be sure not to get nasty soap in my mouth or eyes...I actually licked my cleanser,toner, & moisturizer and went...MMMMM, YUMMY! My tip with the olive oil is to put it on a damp face so it redistributes better and your not left with oily spots.

Her website offers even more information. You can download invitations,recipes,and tip sheets to host your own Beauty Secrets of the Bible party. Sounds like fun! I'd enjoy doing that with my church women.

Now to go get a job just to afford the essential oils...BUT, then again I would've saved myself literally hundreds of dollars last year had I used this regimen instead, making the expensive oils pennies in a bucket.

If you're like me and possess a 'thing' with the lips...RUN, don't walk, RUN to the store and get yourself her fabulous tip of Burt's Bees lip products...balms,glosses,sticks. They ROCK!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pampered!, August 19, 2007

By 

T. Leigh (Tennessee) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beauty Secrets of the Bible (Paperback)

In a culture that seduces women with $35 one-ounce vials of "miracle" lotions and potions, who would guess that the answer to so many beauty concerns can be found in one's own pantry? And for a fraction of the cost. Powdered milk and oatmeal to wash and exfoliate? Surprisingy effective. Honey to nourish and plump up fine lines? Shockingly NOT sticky. Olive oil to moisturize? Can you say "pampered"? And that's just the beginning. Ginger Garrett not only frees up our credit cards by letting us in on ancient beauty secrets that are sure to hit the cosmetic industry in its collective pocketbook, but backs it up with research. And did I mention the daily devotions? Beauty outside and in!

This book is awesome. It really brings out the true beauty of a woman in her spirit and her flesh. Don't let the cosmetic industry pull one over on you anymore. Get this book and look better and feel better for less. Less on your pocket book and less toxins in your body.
