Review
"Home Enlightenment has the power to change the way we live and breathe. You will feel healed—and whole—just by reading this book: It’s a beautiful thing. Annie B. Bond, mistress of the green household and expert on chemical poisoning, gives us remedies for the toxins that ail us. She spells out the ingredients for the good life and the illuminating benefits of sun and candlelight, and she identifies the quiet needs of the everyday. Stockpile copies of Home Enlightenment and give them to everyone you care about." —Amy Goldman, advocate for agricultural biodiversity and author of three books on heirloom vegetables: The Compleat Squash, Melons for the Passionate Grower, and The Heirloom Tomato
"Change is all about knowing what to change. We as a culture have much to change, and it’s always a question how we should make those changes. In a style ‘only Annie,’ Annie opens the door to your home, reveals the invisible, and helps you weave necessary change into everyday life. I have followed Annie’s sound advice for years." —Jeffrey Hollender, president of Seventh Generation, Inc.
"Leave it to Annie B. Bond to create the ultimate healthy-home, living-well guide with all the right ingredients—soothing solutions, sensuality, and a whole lot of good sense." —Wendy Gordon, founder of the National Geographic Society’s Green Guide

Annie B. Bond is a respected authority on the natural lifestyle.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Essentially a repackaging,
This review is from: Home Enlightenment: Create a Nurturing, Healthy, and Toxin-Free Home (Paperback)
This book is essentially a repackaged version of Ms. Berthold-Bond's earlier book Better Basics for the Home. Her advice is wise, comprehensive and useful. But there is nevertheless a disconnect between the kind of spirituality she seeks to encourage and, to be frank, the disturbing dishonesty of presenting something previously published as though it was entirely new.
5.0 out of 5 stars
