My Review:
This book was interesting to read as it is filled with facts and stories about how different spices was used in Bible Times. It is has stories from the author's own life. The author list a different spice for each Fruit of The Spirit.

There are recipes as well and examples of how we can use them today. It was interesting to read the facts about the spices.

You might think this book would be tedious because of the subject matter but it isn't at all.

I was given a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit.These opinions are my own.
