Sabrina Ann, if it werent for you this book would not exist. You are one of the most talented people that I have ever met, and your contribution to this book was priceless. You are also one of the most giving people that I know, and I can think of no one else Id rather do life with.
Esther, Isaiah, Elijah, and Isabellathank you for your love, support, and patience during all of those long days and nights when Daddy was away working on this manuscript. My hope and prayer is that you come to realize it was all worth it because of the people we were able to help (together)!
I am eternally grateful to God for giving you all to me.

PREFACE
Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us? Then I said, Here am I. Send me! He said, Go, and tell this people
ISAIAH 6:89
Ive always been that guy to step up and do what needed to be done. I can remember being a kid and helping my elderly neighbors by shoveling their snow, not because my parents forced me, but because I wanted to. It made me feel good. And it still does. If I see a need, I try my best to fill it, especially when it involves people.
When I became a Christian, this part of me got amplified. Early on, I stumbled upon Isaiah 6:89 and I remember raising my hands in prayer, mimicking the prophets words: Here I am, Lord, send me! I cried out, I dont care what it is, I just want to do my part! That prayer has proven to be the impetus for my biblical health ministry, my career, and notably my focus on educating people how to use essential oils therapeutically.
Im actually a late bloomer when it comes to using essential oils. In fact, my wife, Sabrina, who has been using them since the early 1990s, tried to alert me to their power several times before I finally had my epiphany. Ill confess, as recently as a few years back I marginalized essential oils as the smelly stuff that Mama Z used every morning.
