Rating: - Outstanding
This is an outstanding work on the use of herbs in the bible. The book is user friendly, and should serve as a reference for any interested. It should be part of any one's library who is interested in using the herbs of the bible.
Rating: - A "Must-Have" for Every Herbalist, Spiritual Healer, etc!
I was fortunate enough to be able to read this book before it went to press, as I was asked to give a quote for the back of the book. It is thorough, well researched, and is a valuable resource for scholars, healers, herbalists, historians, spiritual healers, students - well, for everyone! Herbs that were mentioned in the Bible are explained and includes a look at how they are still used today. Anyone familiar with Dr. Duke's work will want this on their library shelf!
