This is one of the best books about Herbs that are mentioned more than 137 times in the Bible. The book is easy to read and has lovely illustrations throughout. The detailed descriptions and uses of herbs are entertaining as well as educational.The reader can enjoy learning about past and present uses of some of these familiar herbs and plants.Mr. Duke should be commended for his accuracy and yet delightful knowledge about herbs.I take his book to show during my speeches about herbs mentioned in the Bible and have yet to meet anyone who doesn't appreciate his book. Even people who aren't interested in using herbs can learn how the chemical components of certain herbs have been the basis of our modern day medicines.I always recommend that this book should be an essential part of anyone's garden library.
