Lynn Watson combines many years' experience in women's ministry, love of essential oils, and her passion for God's word to bring her readers freshly inspired encouragement for their walk with Jesus. Her devotional, The Essence of Courage, was recognized as a 'must read' by regional publishing industry leaders. Married since 1973, Lynn and Steve have filled their Bartlett, Tennessee home with handmade treasures and lots of love for family, especially their five beautiful (of course) grandchildren. Aromas of freshly baked bread often fill Lynn's kitchen. Jasmine, her tuxedo kitty, enjoys sleeping in Lynn's lap while she writes.
The Essence of Joy touched my heart
with its compelling stories of forgiveness woven against the
backdrop of the aromas mentioned throughout the Bible -
frankincense, myrrh, cedarwood, cinnamon...
Patricia Bradley, Award-winning author, Logan Point
Series and the Memphis Cold
Case novels A Must Read! In The Essence
of Joy, Lynn Watson intertwines Scripture with the
uses of oils and spices mentioned in the Bible. I was left with a
feeling of wonder, a new way of looking at God's word. The book is
educational, entertaining, and uplifting. There's history,
fun-facts, even recipes. The author brings devotionals to a new
level, giving biblical insight to the problems modern women
encounter today.
The Essence of Joy is perfect for both
bible study groups and those who are just starting out on their
spiritual journey. Jeri McBryde, Eight-Time Contributing Author to
Chicken Soup for the Soul It's
fascinating to follow how fragrances and spices were used in the
Bible. These will have more meaning to me now. Some of these verses
I've read time after time and haven't noticed the connections. The
simple traditions we take part in have so much history that I
didn't know. Rhonda Moody, Women's Ministry Associate, First West
Church, West Monroe, LA The Essence of
Joy utilizes all five senses to bring the truths of
God's word to life. Watson weaves relatable stories that would
appeal to the inexperienced Bible reader as well as life-long
Christians. She reveals lesser known facts about Biblical scents
that will enrich your study of the Bible. Great Read!! Michelle
Hammons, former Chairman Children's Ministry Committee at Second
Presbyterian Church (Memphis, TN), Bible Study Fellowship Small
Group Leader, and Happy Christian Woman
