What did I think about this book? I think this book was great. I learned so much from Pastor Olsteen. I learned that life doesn't have to be so heavy because we have God who walks alongside with us, constantly leading and guiding us. AND, the best part, we are never alone. I learned how to pray with

In the Prologue of this fascinating memoir, Barbara Walters explains that one of her motivations for writing about her life was that young people starting out in television sometimes said to her: "I want to be you." Barbara's stock reply was: "Then you have to take the whole package."

The CD of Mamma Mia, the movie music is a terrific product. The CD is flawless and in perfect condition. The music is great and makes me wish I had the movie to play right along with it! Anyone who loved the movie will love having this CD to play over and over again, only this time in the privacy

Highly recommended!
10/10/2008
This is a well-written, interesting, and extremely informative book. I've used olive oil before, but never knew much about it. I didn't know the differences between the varieties, only that extra virgin oil costs more, and so it must be better. Cal not only explained the difference between the varieties and how they're made, but also the history of the oil itself, and she does so in such an entertaining way. Neither did I know how heart-and-body healthy it really was. She explains this in detail, and presents numerous ways in which it to gain the most benefit from it, along with a variety of recipes, even how to substitute it for use it in cookies and cakes!

I was also surprised and intrigued to find olive oil has so many possible uses outside of the kitchen, too. Cal gives some excellent ideas, which range from using it as a substitute for those costly body/beauty-care products (who wants to pay $25 for a miniscule jar of wrinkle cream?) to innovative ways to use it around the house. I HIGHLY recommend this book - to anyone who uses olive oil on a regular basis, you will definitely learn something new- but *especially* to those who don't. You have NO idea what you're missing!

Disappointed
7/27/2008
I was very disappointed with this book. It may be fine for those who actually believe that the medical profession knows what health is, but I don't. Cal Orey is apparently known as a health expert, but I am apalled at how little she actually knows about health. Yes, olive oil is a very healthy food, and it has many, many uses. However, I learned more about uses for olive oil by just doing a google search than I have from her book. If you really want to know about getting well and staying well, read "Nourishing Traditions," by Sally Fallon.

olive oil explained
7/20/2008
This book has lots of great tips on what can be done with olive oil. Up 'til now, I've only used it in cooking and for splashing on salads. Very interested to start using it for other things, such as helping my dry hair and softening hands. But of course will also be keeping this book in the kitchen so I can have all the recipes handy! I had not known before that olive oil would be good for baking until reading this book. Every time I pick it up, I find something new in it, so it is worth keeping somewhere it can be often referenced. Definitely a must for someone looking for natural cures and wants to learn more about what olive oil can do!

Olive Oil Rocks!
5/27/2008
We've all heard that "food is the best medicine", and I've experienced the positive results of managing my health with carefully selected food choices for years, but as the owner of a city library's worth of books, and shelves expressly related to natural health, my first thought was `do I need another book on natural healing?'

The answer was a definitive `yes' as soon as I began to explore Cal's creative exploration of olive oil.

The first thing that struck a chord with me is the very personable style in which she communicates her experience and knowledge. This is your best friend sharing inside secrets and recipes. You can `drop in' anywhere and read a cool tidbit! And I love the Resource Guide in the back!

Because even the best resources can be a little bit better, I'd love to see Cal add a true Index in the back in the next printing or version. That way if a friend mentions a current health issue, I can check the back and locate just the right passage for insight.

All in all an excellent book and one well worth purchasing!

God bless the olive tree!

"The Healing Powers of Olive Oil" is a breakthrough book that can do much more for you than be an aid to cooking. It's jam packed with wit, wisdom, cures, remedies, recipes and more and presented in an easy to understand and informative way. Lowering cholesterol and blood pressure got my attention. If you value your health and the health of your family, you will purchase Cal Orey's book.
