Beauty Secrets of the Bible

I bought this book a few years ago. After reading it, I threw out some products I had bought and started making my own from more natural ingredients. My skin has improved, and I took up a new hobby in homemade beauty products. I liked it so much, I bought another for my mom for mother's day. This book can help a lot of people.

Love this i utilize this book in my many daily cleaning and healing products.

I love the information that Ginger gives in reference to women, and their ancient beauty regimens, as well as the daily devotionals, and scripture included which expresses God's Love for us all and how he has uniquely created each of us. Very very very inspiring and wonderful. I myself however have developed a chemical free makeup line and have done ALOT of research on makeup ingredients. Ginger recommends Bare Escenutals aka Bare Minerals as a Makeup line to use. This company includes Aluminum as an ingredient in their makeup. Yeap it's a mineral alright, and one that will cause you possible health problems. They also include Bismuth Oxychloride in alot of their formulations and this is technically a mineral but not one you will find residing in God's creation - The Earth. It is a by-product of the lead and copper manufacturing process and is used by many companies as a texturizer because it gives a very silky finish so they don't have to grind their product as long, and has been linked to many sensitivites of the skin and unexplained erruptions. They also use some preservatives in their products. So they say it is all natural minerals, but it is not due to these issues. She also references Burt's Bee's. They have questionable ingredients in some of their products as well. Ginger also references Aloes which are named in the Bible as being Aloe Vera and gives wonderful ideas on how to use this plant. However if you research this Aloes which is refered to in the Bible is what Sandalwood Essential Oil was called during Ancient times. It was used to not only treat health issued but to embalm the dead. You can not embalm the dead with Aloe Vera. Just won't happen. So I had to give it 4 stars due to premade beauty items not being properly researched, as well as the facts on finding out what Aloes really is. Who knows, if it had not been for my deliberate research on Essential Oils, I may of assumed it was Aloe Vera as well. Overall the book is just beautiful and Ginger is a wonderful woman of God very obviously. She does give alot of wonderful insight on whole foods which I did appreciate greatly. I'd just double research any product suggestions if it isnt a whole food. I thought this would be a good foundation for presenting a new way of pampering to the women of my church who are true beauties as well. Our congregation is a mix of God's world and I see the beauty in them all weather they are Hispanic, Caucasion, Asian, African - and so does he. This book also beautifully points this all out. The devotionals are wonderful. They let you praise and worship God in so many ways as well as see how much he loves us and lets us know it is ok to beautify ourselves. God wants us to take care of ourself and to look as divine as he created us. It is all to his glory :)

The beauty secrets in here actually work. I use organic raw honey on my face followed by organic olive oil as my daily skincare regimen and it has worked wonders (and I'm not just typing this). My skin is sensitive, breaking out easily and I'm pretty sure my skin looks less stressed. Plus, I don't know why, but it feels fun applying too; I guess our ancestors were on to something! I also love the intuitive eating approach left behind by our ancestors and its focus on all aspects of beauty.I start feeling more connected to my soul as I read the devotional. When I naturally feel connected, I do feel beautiful and radiant from within and I see myself in the mirror and I see someone very pretty. I usually feel very ugly. I read the book Beyond Beautiful, which is a really good more secular read and of course there are some parallels. I would say it was hard for me to apply the knowledge in Beyond Beautiful, because I feel me personally I need a deep connection to my soul to transform the way I see myself.Thanks so much for writing this book Ginger!!

Not only is this book a super easy read, but it also helped me to rediscover the true meaning of beauty based on what God says and to value myself from within. I don't feel guilty about caring so much about appearances, as the book says it's a desire to be whole in heaven and fully beautiful with Jesus. However, I can now not get caught up in appearances and have now understood what is most important! I highly recommend it to any young woman like me wanting to learn what God has to say about her beauty.

Beauty Secrets of the Bible is absolutely brilliant. Brilliant, not simply because someone took the time to research beauty treatments that happened to be listed in the Bible (which was a really great idea), but brilliant because of the years of keen observation of the holism contained in the Bible by the author before they wrote this book. I also really like the concept of "beauty" by this author because it includes what you think and what you eat and not just some temporary cosmetic coverup that you apply to your skin. This book truly is thoughtful, healthy, Biblical beauty not just surface cosmetics.I own an esthetician school and am a licensed esthetician instructor, and this book is SO good that I'm including it book on the list of reading materials that I suggest to my students.I found the organization of this book refreshing. After reading book after book that looks like the author never heard of an outline, or did but "the dog ate it" just before they actually wrote the book, this book is organized nicely into seven succinct, logical chapters which are broken down into readable, memorable sections without scrimping on either the writing style or the research.I was so intrigued by the quality of the writing and research of this book that I am going to check out the other books by this author as soon as I finish with this review.Franz Sigel Shroy
