Vincenzina Krymow, author of Mary's Flowers: Gardens, Legends & Meditations (Living Legends of Our Lady), has written another inspirational book on plants and the Bible. Healing Plants of the Bible is well researched and has geographical and historical information punctuated with historical folklore for a well balanced presentation of many herbs and shrubs used medicinally in biblical times. 38 plants are given in-depth treatment with 40 additional plants treated lightly in the appendix. Throughout the book are motivational meditations contributed by Sister Jean Frisk. Near the end of the book is a chapter that lists Biblical Herb Gardens to visit. There is also an excellent index and bibliography that will add to the enjoyment of using Ms. Krymow's Healing Plants of the Bible.
