5.0 out of 5 stars Sometime "Progress" really isn't . . ., March 12, 2007

This review is from: Healing Oils Of The Bible (Paperback)

I'm at a point in my life with way too many "been there, done that's" - a return to simpler times and ideas is very appealing. We live in the age of pharmaceutical companies who won't pursue a medicine unless they can see big bucks in a patentented drug at the end of their research. Think about it - they really have no interest in seeing us healthy - they want us dependent upon them . . . for life, and that is exactly often what happens. I recently read a statistic that shocked me. A person put on medications for High Blood Pressure, lives - on average - an extra 7 days because of being on those meds for life! The truth is, the side effects of the drugs effect the person's health in detrimental ways. All man-made, manufactured drugs have side effects. This statistic for high blood pressure, I'm sure is just the tip of the iceberg! Argh!

God created Adam and Eve and put them in the middle of a garden. Can you close your eyes and just imagine what that must have smelled like. Doesn't your body just feel cleaner and relaxed just imagining what that must have been like. Essential oils are mentioned over 1000 times in the Bible - God put them in our environment and then told us to take dominion over them. I think He had something more in mind than pesticides!

This book causes you to take a look at your Bible in new ways with new appreciation for words you probably read over many times discounting them as antiquated and not for our day. No so, suggests this author. You'll learn such things as the oils used to be burned as incense on altars in the temple also possessed antiseptic and anti-viral properties. Hummm . . . a place where animals were slaughted and people congregated for worship being a place which was regularly treated against bacteria and viruses to deter health situations which might otherwise arise. Do you suppose that was just happenstance? I think not.

The author was pretty thorough in the information presented in this book - you will find it fascinating if you are interested in such things.

5.0 out of 5 stars Making sense of it all, October 18, 2003

By 

Suzanne M Matick (Soquel, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Healing Oils Of The Bible (Paperback)

I loved this book. It was just what I needed to get me started with essential oils. The biblical foundation presented here was very important to me in considering such a radical departure from allopathic treatment methods. This book brought a new understanding of healing through essential oils and an awareness of another dimension between God and man that serves me still. It has helped me as a reference guide as I've continued my study of essential oils, as well. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to know more about essential oils or wanting to understand more about the Bible. You can't find this information in other reference sources; and it shouldn't be missed.

This is a great book. The explanation of the oils, how they are used, and biblically based. It takes us back to God's plan for healing. It also has a Bible study and shows how to present the information to others. For those interested in natural healing, it is a must!
